The sun was setting as a tall blonde woman made her way with purposeful steps towards a seemingly abandoned warehouse. She scanned the accompanying warehouses for any signs of movement with barely a turn of her head in case someone was watching but she did not sense any threat so far. The area was relatively quiet, her booted feet making surprisingly little noise on the pavement as she neared her destination. Reaching the warehouse, Sophia dark attire blended well with the shadow of the building before she pulled the door open with an annoying squeak and quickly let herself in.
Inside she turned towards the stairs where a dim light could be seen emanating from and she swiftly took two steps at a time. Once at the top, her eyes skimmed over a relatively smartly dressed Japanese man standing by a cluttered table but soon fell on a far more interesting sight. Opposite the man sat two women, dressed in matching skimpy leather outfits of purple and pink, both unconscious and restrained to the chairs they were slumped on.
"Bring strippers to all your dealings Dai?" A German accented voice asked, removing her gaze from the bound women.
Dai's head shot up from his task at the cluttered desk, a slightly surprised look on his face as he simply responded, "What?" He glanced at his watch before muttering an "oops" to himself.
"You know I'm all for free love and whatever but if you want to do whatever," Sophia looked pointedly at the two women before returning her gaze, "do it in the privacy of your own home. Don't go bringing your weird bondage hookers to work. I don't need to see that shit."
"Ha. Ha. Ha." Dai responded sarcastically.
"Plus," she paused briefly as she contemplated the women's fate for a moment, "with our line of work, we might have to kill them if they wake up." She finished casually.
"Why are they asleep?" Sophia asked almost as an afterthought.
"They're intruders!" He defended himself. "I had to use my knock out gas to put them down, I'm not that unprofessional."
"Wait that's all you're denying?"
Dai only gave a wicked grin in response.
Shaking her head with an amused smile she moved on, "How did they even manage to get in? Is your security that bad any random stripper and her sister can get in?"
"No it's great, don't doubt my tech skills. It's not my fault they came in through the roof. They might be spies." He suggested in a hurry to defend himself.
"What spy dresses like that?" She gestured to the other women. "Where would they even hide their gear in those outfits? They probably were in the next building over, getting drunk or high and got locked on the roof. They'll probably call the police though, might want to get rid of them." Sophia moved toward the table, planning to hurry this meeting along.
"Will you help?"
"Hell no," She laughed. "I'm just here to get my payment, they're your mess to clear up. Deal with it."
"Deal with us?" An outraged feminine voice yelled from behind Sophia.
Spinning around to see the violet suit wearing woman freed from her bonds and looking very pissed, Sophia raised her hands in a show of peace. "Chill sweetheart, you've had a bit much to drink or smoke and passed out. He was just going to drop you off at the nearest red light district and you can find your way home from there." After a beat she added. "Or your next client."
"What are you implying?!" She was fuming by this point.
"That you're a hooker." Dai helpfully supplied.
The woman turned her glare to him as Sophia chuckled dropping her hands, if looks could kill.
"You bastard!" She yelled, her hands lighting up with electricity as her anger grew before being released forward luckily missing Dai directly in her anger. The floor beneath his feet exploded sending him flying backwards, the force strong enough to expand and slam into Sophia as well.
The mercenary only having the barest moment to react and shield herself from most of the wooden shards, avoiding any direct hits to the chest. She went flying back, colliding with wooden wall as pain rips itself through her back before she dropped to the floor.
"Fuck," She cursed, looking up through watering eyes to see the other woman yelling at Dai. The words were fuzzy to Sophia, crackling in her ears as an after shock of the attack.
Dai somehow managed to regain his footing and dived, or more accurately fell, forwards to take cover behind the table. However, the protection didn't last long as she powered up again, shotting lightning from her palm, shattering the table and knocking him back again. She quickly advanced on him, hands sparking dangerously.
Not giving herself time to even try and comprehend the weirdness of this situation, Sophia went for her weapon but reconsidered attacking the main target, not wanting to get instantly fried. Flicking her gaze to the remaining unconscious woman, Sophia grunted as she pushed herself from the floor, feeling off balanced with what sounded like a storm thundering in her ears. She sprinted as fast as she could to the occupied chair, pulling out the knife she pressed it to the other woman's throat. Making sure she had a good grip on the woman and keeping the knife tight to her throat in case this one woke up and lit up like a hay wiring Christmas tree.
"Hey lightning bitch," She yelled, unsure of her own volume with her ears still ringing.
Said bitch whipped around, hands lighting up even more at the sight before her. "Let go of my sister!" She yelled.
"Sister?" Sophia smirked her first instincts having been correct, "Looks like I have the advantage here then."
She only growled in response before finding her voice. "Let her go or I'll kill your friend!" She yelled feeling as if she had one upped the blonde.
Laughing Sophia gripped the woman's hair, pulling it to reveal more neck to her knife. "I'm really not that attached to him, you on the other hand seem to actually care if my hostage lives." She felt the woman beneath her hand stir and she pressed the knife tighter to her throat, drawing a droplet of blood.
Startled the woman hissed in pain and panicked briefly at being restrained before falling still. Her breathing suddenly becoming laboured to which Sophia attributed to fear setting in.
"You bitch!" The angry woman yelled at the sight of her sister's blood, charging up her electricity she fired at the woman hurting her sister without hesitation.
The blast collided with Sophia's right shoulder, messing with the nerves in her hand, forcing her to drop the knife as she dropped to her knees. The knife clattered to the floor, redder than it should have been and the blonde only got a moment to look up before she was hit again directly in her shoulder causing her to fly backwards with the force of the hit, colliding with another wall. Pain rips itself through her right shoulder making her gasp for air as she tried to focus around the pain and not think about what damage was being down to her back, hoping it was voiding her spine. She'd felt far worse from a fight before but never from a single hit before.
The other woman approached her, tempted to finish her off or to teach her a lesson about messing with her sister.
"Wait," The bound woman let out a breathy plea at the sight of what her sister planned to do. "It's her." She said faintly before freeing herself, bringing a hand to a thankfully shallow cut that was clotting quickly.
Confused for a moment at her sister's response and angered by the sight of blood, she hesitated before realising what was happening. "No," she whispered, her lightning fading out as she continued, "She can't be. We already found him." She claimed weakly.
"What the fuck are you two on about?" Sophia groaned, puzzled by their conversation and angry at herself for being in this position. "What even are you two?" She asked, trying to pull herself up with her left arm. Maybe she could get them to postpone electrocuting with an explanation and give her some time to recover and figure out how to win this.
Hearing the other woman voice, the violet suited woman regained some of her anger and stepped towards Sophia, sure her sister was mistaken, and this couldn't be their destined one. However as soon as she stepped alongside her sister, she suddenly felt weak. Her face grew hot and her breath became laboured.
The freed woman seeing her sister's reaction smiled slightly, glad they weren't reacting to different people, and made her way over to the fallen woman. She all but collapsed upon Sophia when she came too close and leaned in whispering, "We are your sekirei." Before pulling the disoriented blonde into a kiss.
Slowed by pain, Sophia was unable to react in time to prevent the kiss and when she went to push her away, bright pink wings sprouted from her neck, almost blinding her. Without much hesitation, the other woman too dropped upon her and when one kiss ended another began, followed by violet wings of lights.
They both drew back and recited, "We're the pledged thunderclap. No disaster will hit our Ashikabi."
"Your sekirei, no. 11 Hikari, now and forever."
"Your sekirei, no.12 Hibiki, now and forever."
"What the actual fuck?"
