Tokyo mew mew rp

[Mistress Guendolen]

OOC: I apologize for double-posting, but just in case anyone's interested, I just posted a full-color version of my character's Mew costume portrait in both my art thread and on my character profile here. Just in case someone would like to see. I'll probably eventually do one of her in her waitress outfit too, but I have other art I want to do before that.

[Tala]

Kyte:Lets.

*Kyte picked up cassia and started running faster then the average human*

[Mistress Guendolen]

"EHHH!" Cassia was stunned to find herself suddenly being, well, carried. "Yo, I wasn't planning on you doing this! I have legs that work, you know! Though I guess I can't run as fast as this...."

[Tala]

*Kyte ignored cassia and kept running untill he came to the alley where the man was hiding and he put cassia down*

[Mystic Mina]

The Cassia clone was running as fast as she could back to HQ, her lithe form sliding through the thick crowds of the city. It almost felt like she was dancing through the mobs, and for some reason it gave her a rush of exhilaration.

"I haven't felt this good in a long time...." she whispered to herself, smiling. "I feel like I can just jump into the skies and fly away!"

[Mistress Guendolen]

It took Cassia a minute to catch her breath when they stopped. "Well now, that's the first time I've ever been hauled around like a sack of potatoes.... But it makes me wish I could run that fast, I gotta say. Now, it's time to look for our culprit...." A glow formed around her hand, in preparation of summoning her weapon. "He is now a she who looks a lot like I do now.... I feel like I'm in a video game where you have to fight your shadow self or something." Then, she saw someone sprinting past. Someone who looked a lot like her.... "There he- she- is!" And she took off in hot pursuit, not noticing that the materializing weapon was not her staff, but a small stylized bow....

[Tala]

*Kyte saw a glimpse of blue hair in a crowd and ran stright at it*

Kyte:Found you.

*Kyte grabed the person and brought the person to cassia*

[Mystic Mina]

"Wha! H-Hey! Let go!" the Cassia double cried when Kyte tried to grab her. She couldn't be caught yet! There was too much at stake....

"I said, LET GO!"

Without even thinking, she threw a powerful punch at Kyte's face, sending him flying several feet away from her.

"Wow.... Even without her Mew powers, she's still pretty strong." she whispered, looking at her undamaged little hands. Then she saw the real Cassia....

"U-Uh.... This isn't what you think it is!"

[Mistress Guendolen]

"Oh, it isn't, is it?" Cassia bore down on the clone of herself, a scowl deepening. "Seems pretty plain to me, sister. You come into our cafe- a place where we haven't even done anything besides serve food and smack perverts- and act all sad and lonely and awkward. You lull us- me- into a false sense of security, playing the sympathy card, making me feel sorry for you just so you can get close enough to try to take another of us out of action! Don't lie- you're with the police, aren't you?" She grabbed the front of the other girl's shirt to keep her from fleeing. "Just like that guy in the suit who stole Kate. How dare you invade us like that? Of all the sneaky- under-handed- low-down- I can appreciate a fight face-to-face, but a trick like that- that makes me furious! I- I should knock you down right here and now!" She clutched the mini-bow that materialzied in her hand.

[Mystic Mina]

"I.... I...."

Images flashed by. A boy pushed onto the ground. A knife flashed to his throat. Laughing. Beating. Yelling. Crying.... NO!

"Enough!" the impostor cried, landing a powerful punch to Cassia's gut and pushing her away. "I may be underhanded, sneaky, and deceiving, but there is one honest thing I still stand for!"

She pulled out a cellphone device from her pocket.

"I care for the people in this city! I will do everything I can to defend them! If it means resorting to trickery.... Then so be it!"

A button was pressed on the device, which then sent a beam of blue energy swirling around Cassia's copy.

"Revolve armor! Form on!"

A black suit which looked remarkably similar to Cassia's formed, though instead of real bird wings forming, a set of artificial metal wings extended from her back.

"Well, come on then! Knock me out!"

[Mistress Guendolen]

Cassia reeled, gasping, first at the punch and then at the change. "You?! You were the guy in that suit?..." Her face hardened. "You think you're the only person who cares? Well, I hate to break your little crusade, but you're not this city's one and only defender! There are others who want to keep it safe too! If I- if I have to knock you out to prove us to you, then I will!" A brilliant blue glow took shape around her. Her bangs and the tails of hair in front of her ears fluttered, as though in an invisible wind. Her hand stretched high overhead; the blue light swirled, as though she were twirling within it. "Ribbon Mint Echo" Yet even as she released her attack, a small voice deep inside whispered, It feels wrong to be fighting like this....

[Mystic Mina]

The impostor grimaced slightly when Cassia transformed. She didn't want to fight her; she knew Cassia was a kind girl at heart. But there was no choice....

"I'm sorry...."

The clone jumped up, using her new wings to fly up out of the alley and avoid the Mew's attack. She formed her own bow and arrow once she was at a respectable height, though they were entirely silver, and fired a volley of energy bolts down at Cassia.

"But this must be done! For our people!"

[Mistress Guendolen]

Cassia dove, trying to dodge, and slid, like sliding into base. One of the bolts skimmed her side, though, leaving a trailing burn mark. "Ah!" She rolled to her feet, squinting; the imposter had her turned so the sun was in her eyes. No help for it- She had never done this before, but she knew, bone-deep, that it was a power they all possessed. She closed her eyes just for a moment, jumped- and stayed up. Finally willing herself to look, she was able to fly up to the same height as the clone. Get behind her- knock her out- She tried to circle around behind, releasing another energy arrow along the way. And that tiny voice deep inside again cried out, cried that this wasn't a fight that should be happening, why couldn't they work together instead....

[Mystic Mina]

The Cassia double dived down below Cassia towards a nearby rooftop, dodging the arrow. Though, since she did not have any experience with flying at all, she ended up rolling roughly down on tiled roof. Once more, after a quick recovery, she summoned her bow and arrow and aimed up towards Cassia. Her fingers hesitated.

"I... I must...."

[Mistress Guendolen]

She's down! I have to- Another energy arrow materialized. And she, too, hesitated.... But- that's not sportsmanlike- in a game, you give 'em a chance to get back up, don't you?
There seemed to be two voices warring inside. The other answered, But think of what she- he- did. Sneaky, underhanded-
Yes, but do you want to be the same?
How else can you win? You want to win!
Do I?... Do I even want this fight at all?...
I- I don't know-
"I can't take this any more!" Cassia screamed, shaking her head wildly. "I- I don't want to, but I must- I'm- I'm so sorry-" Eyes squeezed shut, visage a mask of conflicted pain, not even able to look and aim correctly, she opened her hand and released the arrow....
