Red and blue lights flashed through the streets, pushing their way through the sea of bright neon lighting the night sky and outshining the stars, making the moon seem that much smaller compared to the glow beneath it.
The repeated noise accompanying the lights made sure that no one was unaware of their presence as they made their way through the windy streets, appearing form every possible direction.
Their destination a glowing pillar standing above the the city, as if looking down onto the rest of the city.
--
Running along a small cramped corridor, seemingly devoid of light except for the flashing red coming from overly ecstatic alarms. A figure was hastily making its way down the hall whilst clumsily crashing into seemingly everything in its way, shattering vases and anything else in its way, luckily the sound of shattering was covered up by the loud screech of the alarms going off all around.
The figure that was the cause of the mess paid absolutely no mind to it, as other things were on their mind right now. One of such things was the sound of the bullets whizzing past the figure, their sound glass clear compared to the alarms, which seemed to melt into background noise after a while.
A door leading to the roof of a certain building suddenly burst open, with someone bursting through it as fast as they could,colliding in the process with the metal railings covering the edge of the rooftop.
A few seconds later several suited men ran in after the figure. Positioning themselves so that the only exit was inaccessible.
The figure slowly got up, the lights from the city below casting a dark silhouette of an obviously masculine nature. Holding onto the railings for support as he got up, the man held his jaw in one hand as he spat out a mouthfull of blood onto the dark grey floor.
One of the suited men put his hand on his ear as he muttered something in a low tone. Seconds later a helicopter had showed up seemingly out of nowhere, hovering just above the rooftop, before abruptly turning on a large light in the direction of the man, almost blinding him.
Now lit up by the light coming from the helicopter, the figure was visibly wearing black skintight clothing, with a big shoulder bag at his side, and black gloves.
"H-Hey, how about...i just give you back whats in my bag and maybe we can pretend this never happened?"
The black clad man said as he patted his bag
"Hey i'l even give you the bag, as a freebie, its a nice bag you know, its a good deal, right?"
He tried again, but slowly sighed as the suited men continued to slowly advance towards him.
"Hey, you dont want to come any closer than that, i have a black belt in..Taekwon..kendo..judo..jutsu!"
He proclaimed as he quickly did a demonstration of what he thought was a skillful display in martial arts.
The suited men, glanced at each other, as one of them shrugged and took out a large pistol from his suits inner pocket., with the other men nodding and bringing out their own weapons, which varied from pistols to rifles, which were all somehow cleverly hidden in their clothing.
"Uuuu..nevermind..forget that, i dont have a black belt or anything..so.. put those away?"
He pleaded, which only caused the suited men to aim directly at his head.
The black clothed man swiftly pulled out a small object from his bag and started to wave it around infront of him. Not as a weapon, but simply to get the armed mens attention.
"If you dont back off right now, i'm going to have to throw this all the way down!"
He waved the object over the edge of the building.
"Drop it and we drop you."
The pistol wielding suit quickly pulled out another pistol with his other hand, both aimed towards the black clothed mans head.
"Ok..but.. i'm guessing that you'l drop me down either way, i think.. in that case...i'l just have to drop... myself before you drop me!"
The man swiftly did a backflip over the railings, as gravity pulled him away from the bullets flying above his face, seemingly in slow motion, making him think of a certain movie.
"Hahaha! The great Niko escapes once again!"
He took a moment to admire the sea of red blue light beneath him, before he quickly started to rummage through his bag,windows flying past him faster than he could notice.
"Where is it, WHERE IS IT" His search grew more desperate and frantic with each passing second, until he finally realised.
"...I forgot to pack my paraschute..."
He cursed as the ground below him quickly grew larger, the powerful wind robbing him of his last words.
Clutching the object he had waved around earlier, A golden fist sized ball engraved with runes, and the cause of his current predicament, he closed his eyes and prepared for his fate.
A second later and it was all over. The body, or atleast what they could find of it was quickly covered with a blanket as the police were finishing up with their investigation. The only thing still intact was the golden ball the man had been holding, which was still held tightly in his hand, even if that hand wasnt attached to the rest of the body anymore.
A few parts of it seemed to have somehow gotten loose, which snapped back together when the investigator touched it, he naturally assumed it had something to do with it being broken from the fall, and it quickly got filed away with the rest of the evidence.
--
A police truck carrying evidence from a certain crime scene made its way past a small hospital towards its destination.
One of the pieces of evidence acquired was a golden ball that was made up of several different parts, almost like a spherical puzzle, each part had various different runic symbols inscribed on it.
A few parts had somehow gotten loose during the trip, the symbols glistening lightly. As the truck slowly made its way past the hospital however, the different pieces began to be pulled back towards the sphere, as if drawn by a magnetic force, before settling into their respective places, completing the spherical puzzle.
--
Niko slowly opened his eyes as he was awoken by the sound of people walking and talking somewhere nearby. His still half asleep brain struggled to get its gears going, as he slowly noticed that he was inside of a small plain hospital room.
He sleepily looked around and found that there were several machines connected to him, monitoring his current status.
"Heh i have yet again miraculously survived!"
"Huh, my voice sounds wierd.. i guess i really did a number on my body this time.."
"There's no one around..the fools, despite how wounded your opponent may be, never let them out of your eyesight!"
He looked around and smiled as he quickly unhooked the iv drip and the rest of the monitoring equipment.
"Huh.. my arms look so thin and dainty,oh my poor little attack dogs are now nothing more than little puppies..."
"How long have i been asleep to have lost this much muscle.."
"Guess that just means i have to put in more hours at the gym.."
He sadly squeezed the muscles on his arms as he tried to stretch his muscles.
As he got up and started to look for any proper clothes other than a medical nightgown, he noticed that there was a mirror in the corner of the room. Which he quickly approached to see what his body looked like after being splattered into a pancake.
The sight infront of him shocked him, Instead of seeing a rough 20-something year old man, what he instead found was a dainty looking cute young girl, around 10-14 years old, looking back at him.
Startled, he quickly looked behind, finding nothing but empty air, he turned back towards the mirror again, carefully studying the girl portrayed in it.
The girl had a very slim, slightly waifish build. She had brilliant green eyes, and slightly messy brown shoulder length hair. Noticing that the girl was only wearing a very revealing white medical nightgown, made Niko's ears hot, as he noticed the girl in the mirror was blushing cutely as well.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
He slowly lifted his hand towards his own face, and saw the girl perfectly mirroring his action, lifting her small petite hand towards her daintly flushing face.
"N-No way.." He, or rather she, muttered quietly to herself.
"How is this possible, no this cant be true, this is a wierd dream brought to by my own desperate libido...or something!"
She muttered quickly before giving herself a rough pinch on the cheek.
The girl in the mirror did the same, and her eyes quickly started shedding tears due to the pain she caused herself.
"E-eh you okay?"
Niko reached out a hand towards the mirror.
"No wait, that IS me, stupid"
"No wait, i mean Thats NOT me!"
"Gahh which is it!"
She held her head in a troubled manner as she argued with herself.
"Okay, lets calm down.. i should calm down and think this through..."
"Ok..i pinched my cheek and didnt wake up... so this is not a dream..probably...could this be a hallucination?"
She quickly gave her groin area a careful pat.
"Yup...its gone...Niko's little Niko is gone...my little guy is gone.."
She said with a resigned tone.
"Okay..so i am not hallucinating..okay..fine..this is me..but how did this happen... what did they do to my body, this cant be real!"
She said as she punched the floor.
"Ow...." Niko's eyes teared up as she held her hand in pain.
"This is like some sort of bad fantasy or sci-fi story... GAH anyway!"
"I can figure this out after i've gotten away from here!"
Just as Niko had finished her sentence, the door to the room opened and a young woman came in carrying a small basket filled with various fruits and a ribbon, which immediately fell out of her hands when she noticed Niko standing in the middle of the room.
"Alisa!"
The woman said as she jumped forward, giving Niko a strong hug, that almost resulted in Niko's suffocation.
"W-what?"
Niko coughed out as the woman quickly released him.
"Oh i'm so sorry, you must still feel pretty weak, but look at you, you're awake,And... you're standing!"
The woman started to tear up as she looked at Niko.
"Uh..excuse me miss. Are you alright?"
Niko coyly asked, unsure of how to react to the womans behaviour.
"Alissa, its me, your big sister!"
"Oh maybe you dont recognise me because of my new haircut, look its me, Hannah!"
She laughed as she lifted a bit of hair that was covering her eyes.
"Sorry miss, but i have no idea who you are?"
"Alisa..." The woman named Hannah started to tear up as she suddenly approached Niko and gave her another hug, this one much more gentle than the last one.
"H-hey, why are you hugging me, not that i'm complaining..hehe..besides my name is Niko not Alissa." Niko answered as she pushed the woman named Hannah away as best she could with her new weaker form.
"...Huh?" The woman looked at Niko through her still wet eyes with a confused expression on her face.
--
"W-what is this, let me out, i demand to be released now!"
Niko screamed while being strapped into the bed by several large labcoat wearing doctors.
"Now now, this is just a precaution so you dont run away and hurt yourself, after all waking up from such a long coma may have messed up your memories a bit, a little girls body is quite fragile after all, Alisa"
One of the doctors explained as they finished up securing the straps on Niko's body.
"My name is Niko dammit, NIKO, and i am NOT a little girl!"
Niko yelled into the doctors ear as he was finishing securing Niko to the bed, causing him to hold his ear in pain.
"Alright, now you are going to stay here for a while, while we decide if you are in need of any medication, ok?" The doctor said as he and his companions left the room, locking it behind them.
"Ugh..That damn woman, she didnt believe anything i said, and she had the audacity to say that this was for my own good"
"But...atleast now i know what happened, i think..this body doesnt belong to me..obviously!"
Niko muttered whilst she tugged on the straps to no avail .
"So that means.. that i have to escape from these idiots, and find my real body, perhaps then i can go back to normal..."
"Now lets see...these straps...if i just keep tugging at them in a certain way..."
Niko muttered as she started to tug on the straps covering her arms and legs.
"They..will..become..loose...enough..AHA!"
Niko smiled as she succesfuly freed on of her arms, before quickly unstrapping the rest of her limbs.
"No prison keeps me the great Niko locked up for long!"
Niko said as she made a heroic, yet ridiculous looking pose.
"Although this is a hospital..whatever!"
"Now, first things first... i cant run around in a loose hospital gown..."
After looking around a bit, Niko had found that there was a bag underneath the bed, in it were a few pieces of clothing, Which Niko hurriedly put on. The clothes were of course meant for the girl whose body he was currently borrowing. Which meant that she felt very embarassed putting them on.
After Niko had finished donning his new attire, she quickly gave himself a quick look in the mirror. A Cute brown haired girl with green eyes looked back at Niko through the mirror. Luckily for Niko she was wearing very generic clothing which were just a pair of pants and a shirt, although they were still tailored for a girl, the fact that she didnt have to wear a skirt, made Niko sigh in relief.
Niko stood still for a moment, mesmerized by the sight before her, before she quickly shook her head, as she tried to concentrate at the task at hand.
"But seriously...how the hell did i end up like this.." She sighed "I have to get to the bottom of this." Niko said determinately.
"Hm..well the door is locked.."
She concluded after giving a few pulls and pushes.
"And the window...well its not locked...but im not doing that again, ever, heights are a big no-no"
She concluded, without giving the window a second glance.
"So that means... i have to somehow unlock the door...or..have someone else do it for me..." Niko thoughtfully muttered to herself.
--
An hour or so later, the door unlocked and slowly opened, as the doctor from earlier entered the room.
"Okay Alisa, time for your medecine, it's going to help you-"
He stopped talking as he noticed the empty bed.
"What the, where is she?"
He frantically looked around the room, his gaze resting on the open window.
"Oh god, what is that girl thinking, She's going to hurt herself!"
The doctor quickly took a look outside the window before running out, presumably to whatever floor that he thought was accessible from that window.
A few moments after the doctor was gone, Niko slowly made her way from under the bed and dusted herself off.
"Heh, oldest trick in the book"
Niko smiled and ran out the door, her hair fluttering behind her.
