Chapter 9:

9-The Tech Voodoo and Human Ballerina

Chimera-chan Can’t Be Tamed!


Rinka was kneeling on the floor practicing traditional calligraphy. The atmosphere was Silent.

Chi-chan and Poko were hiding behind a stack of manga, watching rinka.

Chi-chan: (Whispering) "Today i'm gonna kill her hehe...Little does she know... technology has surpassed her ancient magic!"

Chi-chan pulled out a strange object. It looked like a straw voodoo doll, but it had a USB port, an antenna, and an LCD screen on its chest.

Poko: "Whoa! Is that the 'i-Curse-u 666 Pro'?"

Chi-chan: "Correct! It’s the Smart Voodoo Doll! No more messy hair-stealing! I just scan the target with the laser and WHAM! Anything I do to the doll happens to Rinka!"

Poko: "Technology is amazing! Can you Q-Tube in that?"

Chi-chan: "Focus! Operation 'Remote Control Pain' starts now!"

Chi-chan aimed the doll at Rinka’s back.
BEEP. The doll scanned a target.
Doll Voice: "TARGET ACQUIRED. SYNCHRONIZATION COMPLETE. CONNECTED TO: [IDIOT]."

Chi-chan: "Idiot? Must be a translation error. Okay, Rinka... prepare to feel a pinch!"

Chi-chan pinched the doll’s arm pretty Hard.

Chi-chan: "TAKE THA— OW!!"

Chi-chan yelped. She rubbed her own arm.

Chi-chan: "What the...? Did she reflect it?! Rinka must have a passive shield up! I need more power!"

Poko: "Chi-chan, maybe you should check the settin—"

Chi-chan: "Silence! I’ll use the Paperclip of Agony!"

Chi-chan unfolded a paperclip. She grinned evilly at Rinka’s back.
She stabbed the doll in the butt.

Chi-chan: "DIE— GYAAAAAAAAAHH!"

Chi-chan leaped three feet into the air, clutching her own butt.

Chi-chan: "MY BUTT! IT WENT DEEP! How is she reflecting damage so fast?! She didn't even turn around!"

Rinka: (Still writing, doesn't look back) "..."

Chi-chan: "ARGHH! Poko, hand me the Hammer!"

Poko: "Chi-chan, I think you scanned yourself by mista—"

Chi-chan: "HAMMER!"

Chi-chan grabbed a toy mallet. Her eyes were bloodshot. She looked crazy.

Chi-chan: "If I crush the doll's head, Rinka will get a headache! FULL....POWER!"

Chi-chan swung the hammer.
WHAM!
She smashed the doll directly in the face.

Chi-chan: "..."

DELAYED REACTION.

Chi-chan: "MGGGHHHH—!!"

Chi-chan’s eyes rolled back into her head. She stumbled backward, dizzy, seeing stars. A massive cartoon bump grew on her forehead instantly.

Chi-chan: (Slurring) "She... she is too strong... invisible armor... I must... use the last option..."

Chi-chan wobbled toward the Open Fireplace.

Poko: "Chi-chan! STOP! Don't throw the doll in the fire!"

Chi-chan: "Hehe... time for death! BURN, WITCH!"

Chi-chan threw the doll toward the fire.
As the doll flew through the air, Chi-chan suddenly felt her body getting incredibly hot.

Chi-chan: "Wait. Why is my tail smoking?"

Realization hits.

Chi-chan: "NO! I AM THE DOLL! I AM THE DOLL!! SAVE MEEEE!"

Chi-chan tried to run away from herself.
Just before the doll hit the flames, a paper fan clamped shut around it.

SNAP.

Rinka had caught the doll with her Iron Fan.

Rinka: "You are so noisy."

Chi-chan fell to her knees, panting, face bruised, butt red(due to heat).

Chi-chan: "You... You saved me?"

Rinka: "I saved my carpet from catching fire you dumb."

Rinka looked at the Smart Voodoo Doll in her hand. She looked at the beaten-up Chi-chan.

Rinka: "I see. You synced it to yourself."

Chi-chan: "It... It defaulted to the owner?! Refund! I demand a refund!"

Rinka: "Well, since you clearly like being controlled by a toy..."

Rinka smiled. It was a beautiful, terrifying smile.
She reached into her mysterious "Cursed Items" box.

Rinka: "I found this yesterday. 'The Shoes of Cutie beauty'."

She pulled out a pair of pink, glittery ballet slippers that were glowing with a sinister aura.

Chi-chan: "No. Pink is not my color."

Rinka: "Put them on."

Chi-chan: "NEVER! HEBI-O, ATTACK!"

Rinka: (Forcefully shoves the shoes onto Chi-chan’s feet).

CLICK.

The shoes locked onto Chi-chan’s feet.
Immediately, Chi-chan stood up on her tiptoes. Her posture became perfect.

Chi-chan: "My calves! Why are my calves flexing?!"

Suddenly, classical music started playing. Da-da-da-DA-da-da...

Chi-chan: "Oh god. My body... it’s moving on its own!"

Chi-chan started to pirouette.
Spin. Spin. Spin.

Chi-chan: "I can't stop! I’m spinning! I’m getting dizzy!"

Rinka: "This curse forces you to perform a perfect ballet recital. It lasts for 4 hours."

Chi-chan: "FOUR HOURS?! I'm gonna puke! POKO, HELP ME!"

Poko: " I’ll add music!"
(Poko transforms into a giant boombox and starts playing loud Techno music).

Chi-chan: "NOT TECHNO! YOU CAN'T PIROUETTE TO TECHNO! IT’S TOO FAST!"

Chi-chan began spinning at mach speed, turning into a blur.
WOOSH WOOSH WOOSH.

Chi-chan: "RINKAAAA! PLEASE! I'LL PAY THE RENT! I'LL MASSAGE YOUR SHOULDERS! STOP THE MUSIC!"

Rinka: (Sips tea, watching the blur) "Your form is surprisingly good. 7 out of 10."

Chi-chan: "I AM A CHIMERA PRINCESS! BLEEEEEEGH—!"
