After a long time of inactivity, it's finally done!
I know that this chapter is more like an omake than the real story
CHAPTER 03? I think I'll make it about a date to where Shido will try to seal Plutia without bringing out Iris Heart.
After the smoke cleared the identification of the figure that stood before Kurumi, she almost smiled as if she was mildly surprised at the person that stood before her. Plutia transformed into her Iris Heart but her outfit is different since she looked like some sort of "Goddess" while wearing her Astral dress.
"Ara, Ara. Looks like it really happened but I can't let you escape that easily"
"[Nightmare], I'll take care of the Spirit"
Ellen quickly responded to the situation, her fighting abilities are limited due to the realize being only suited for outdoors and not indoors.
"Heh~ You want to be punished, huh"
"Be pleased that I will let you live"
The Spirit turned Goddess clashed against the strongest wizard, for the first time, Ellen found her match. A hybrid being, A Goddess and A Spirit at the same time, that is what Plutia has turned into. Wescott has no clue about Plutia's origins but she suspects her as another being which is also a Spirit, this is what made Wescott interested in her.
"Ellen, Let her go…for now"
"Ike? I understand" Ellen heard his voice through her intercom
Ellen jumped back but stayed in a guarded position.
"You're very fortunate to have matched my strength"
"I would love to play more but I have more important places to go to"
In that instant, Iris Heart blew a hole in the roof and escaped through there, the two watched as the Spirit escape. Ellen and Kurumi knew what he was planning as he showed up right after the Spirit disappeared
"Let her be wonder for now"
"Ike, Is it really necessary to let her go?"
"I want to observe her capabilities as a new Spirit"
"I see….."
Girls in wiring suits wielding advanced mechanized guns and blades flew to the sky as they chased an identified Spirit, Codename: [Goddess]. The Spirits was something they never encountered before, it was new to them as they never saw such Spirits with an odd behavior. Plutia while transformed into Iris Heart got weary of being relentlessly shot and hunted by hostile girls. Iris Heart paused as she hovered above the city and used her weapon to defend against her pursuers.
"Naughty girls should be punished!"
The AST surrounded the sadistic new Spirit and pointed their guns at her while they wait for their captain's orders.
"Fire!" Captain Ryouko ordered and the others followed
Special bullets were rained against the Spirit [Goddess] but it did not even pierce through her invisible shield.
"Hmm? How should I punish you all? Oh, I know! I'll whip your assess until you beg!"
Iris Heart's broadsword that can extend and shift into a whip, covered itself with lightning to increase the weapon's damage. With a sadistic look and a grin, Iris Heart randomly swung her arm and the lightning whip cut through the air.
"Ahahahaha! Run you little insects"
The sky darkened and lightning formed in the clouds as if it was responding to Iris Heart's ecstacy. Down below, Shido spotted on what he recognized to be "Plutia" since he remembered her transforming when they first met.
"What's going on?"
"Shido!" Tohka called out
"Tohka? What are you doing here?"
"I got worried"
Tohka noticed the unusual thunderstorm and when she looked up, she noticed the mecha mecha people also known as the AST fighting the sadistic lightning manipulating Spirit.
"Shido?"
"Tohka, We should probably go far away from here"
"Why?"
"Well- I'll explain everything later"
Just before they know it, ever single member of the squad of AST had been defeated and the sadistic Goddess…Spirit, set her eyes upon Shido who was just below the finished battle. Iris Heart swooped down on Shido on grabbed the back of his shirt and lifted off him from the ground.
"My oh My, What a coincidence Shido-kun"
"I'm didn't do anything wrong"
"Really? Then, What's a normal person like you doing here?"
"You see….I was trying to look for you"
"Okay then. I'll hang you upside down and strip you naked if you lie to me"
"Y-yes Ma'am!"
Her sadistic glare pierced like knives to his fragile high school boy body, Shido never encountered someone like her since the last time he met Kurumi.
ITSUKA HOUSEHOLD
Miku Izayaoi, one of the Spirits that Shido sealed and also a former human like Kotori, visited her self proclaimed "darling" to his house but the moment she opens the door, the Spirits, Tohka, Yoshino, Kaguya and Yuzuru are trembling in corner while staring at the kitchen. Curious, the beautiful Diva approached the terrified Spirits.
"My, What's wrong with all of you"
"S-S-Shido…..san"
"T-That person….."
"That person?" Miku wondered on who Kaguya is talking about
"J-j-just…l-look" Tohka pointed towards the kitchen
Miku straightened her back and looked at the direction to where Tohka pointed, the Diva widened her eyes and she was filled with the mixed feeling of fear and anger. He could not accept that someone else "touched" his darling in many ways in front of her.
"What are you doing to my darling?!"
"Miku, run!" Shido pleaded as he was being stepped by Iris Heart and he looked like he was tortured
Miku did not listen to Shido and confronted the sadistic Goddess without a second thought even though she have not met Iris Heart yet.
"I'm the only one who could play with darling!"
"What? Do you want to play to?"
While the two are busy arguing, the other Spirits are impressed by Miku's bravery.
"Miku's sacrifice won't end in vain"
There a drop of tear from Kaguya as she lifted and closed her fist. The loud argument of the two fell into a dead silence and this made the Spirits aware and alarmed of the situation, as they peek to the kitchen, All four of them are horrified on to what they saw. Miku's body laid stiff to the ground as if she was murdered but she was unconscious, Shido was lifted a few feet from the ground and his body stopped moving.
"Is Shido-san-"
"That woman just killed Shido!"
"Suggestion. Let's run"
Just as they were planning to run away, Iris Heart's sadistic voice send a jolt to their spine, they were all frozen in that spot. The Spirits could not run even if they wanted to, the sadistic Goddess stretched her whip and the Spirit's last screams echoed and turned the Itsuka house into a massacre scene.
ONE HOUR LATER
Kotori excitedly returned to their house and the first thing she would ask is what's for dinner. She turned and found the whole house itself surrounded in suspense and creepy silence, there was not a single person in the house…or so she thought.
"Shido? Shido? Where did he go?"
Kotori called out his brother's name but the latter did not respond which is very unusual for Shido to be not in their house, a clanking noise caught her attention which came from upstairs. Kotori's heart stopped for a second when her eyes caught an arm stretching out in front of the sofa. She slowly leaned forward and found Yuzuru unconscious on the floor and in a weird murdered like position.
"Yuzuru!?"
The more Kotori proceeds further the more dangerous it gets, the suspense crawled to her skin and it gave her goose bumps. Just below the stairs is Tohka who is lying like a dead person as well, she turned over Tohka's body and her expression looked like she suffered a horrible death. Kotori felt like she entered a murder house full of murder victims just like in the movies.
"First Yuzuru, now Tohka"
Kotori then proceeded upstairs where she found the next victim which is Yoshino, the place where body was lying down was not far from where she found Tohka.
"What's with this murder like scenario?!"
She there are no one else upstairs, Kotori proceeded downstairs and as she was about to open the bathroom door, Miku's body that was leaning on the other side of the door, fell down when Kotori opened the door.
"First Yuzuru, then Tohka, Yoshino and now Miku"
Kotori counted and thought for a while, he marked down the unconscious victims she found and the remaining which lead to two people left unfound, Kaguya and Shido.
"Which means, there are two more left"
She proceed to the last place she had not checked yet which is the kitchen. Shido was not far from the Kitchen and just like the other Spirits, he was unconscious and lied in the ground like a dead body.
"Shido! Shido! Shido!"
Kotori violently shook his brother's body which turned out unresponsive but still warm, she felt there was someone behind her since the presence of the culprit gave her a jolt and her spine shivered. She slowly turned her head to only find Iris Heart waiting for her with a sadistic smile, she was carrying and dragging Kaguya by the head.
"I found youuu~"
Just like the others, Kotori's last screams is the only thing that was last heard.
SOME TIME LATER….
Kotori woke up all of a sudden after everything went black and checked her body, she sighed in relief that she in fact still alive. She recognized her surroundings to be inside the airship Fraxinus, Reine was the first person she saw and the others are asleep and resting after that horrifying experience.
"Reine? What happened?"
"You were all unconscious when I found you and…."
A certain person which is the culprit appeared behind the curtain, her form was different than what Kotori last saw. From the form of a sadistic woman to an innocent and calm young girl, Plutia greeted Kotori with her usual smile.
"You!"
"Ehehehe, I'm sorry. I really overdid it this time"
"I managed to calm her down after she rendered everyone unconscious"
"I remember, I was scared half to death that I passed out"
"I'm really sorry Kotori-san, I didn't mean to overdid it"
"It's fine"
Even after Plutia apologized, she scarred everyone for life and because of this, they learned to be careful of her and prevent her from transforming. They will have a hard time doing that since Plutia's behavior and personality is very unpredictable that her anger scars friend and foe alike.
"I'm glad everyone's fine" Plutia slowly clapped her hands
"I thought I'm going to die" Kaguya sighed in relief
"Darling, Are you okay?"
"I'm fine"
"Now that everyone's fine, Let's play another game"
"NO WAY!" Everyone else protested
"You're all Spoilsports"
After what they have seen and experience, they all learned a valuable lesson, Never mess with Plutia.
Plutia was currently alone at this time and she spent her afternoon relaxing on top of a building. The cool and relaxing breeze of the wind, makes her more sleepy than usual but…..
"Ggh"
She felt a short and sharp pain in her chest as if something pierced her heart. Her head begun to feel dizzy as the pain grew stronger. Plutia felt as if her emotions are getting out of control, her thoughts were being thrown into chaos and her mind started to be clad in darkness, the pain lasted for a short and Plutia easily recovered.
"Is it because of that?"
Plutia thought to herself as she grasped her chest, a small memory flashed through her. She finally remembered that the main reason she was in a forest was because she saw a figure of an unrecognizable person but she knows it is a woman with a long white hair. Plutia remembered that she saw a glimpse of that person but before she could speak a word that person erased her memory of Plutia seeing her. That person is known as the elusive….[Phantom]
OMAKE
Shido had just came home a bit late from running an errand but the moment he entered the door...He let go of the plastic bag on what he saw.
"Aaaahhh, Shido-san. Welcome back" Iris Heart greeeted Shido
"What...happened?"
On the living room, Kaguya and Yuzuru's faces were both been grabbed tightly by Iris Heart. The Yamai twins are both struggling while Iris Heart put one of her foot in the table.
"Kaguya? Yuzuru? What's going on?"
"This two? They were running all around and made my ice cream fell on the floor"
"You know...You could just get another one in the kitchen"
After hearing Iris Heart's reason on why she grabbed Kaguya and Yuzuru's faces, Shido was not surprised by the Yamai twin's behavior.
