Chapter 2

Maiya faced Bazett, her silver hair blowing in the wind, the rune embedded in a pebble in the centre of her chest glowed red slightly, as it did a faint red aura was released from her startling Illya and Kuro. While Bazett only grimaced.

"Ooh not afraid of the weird red aura coming of the little girl in front of you?" Maiya toyed. "Oh well let's get started!" She roared as she launched forward the rock pathway behind her burst and cracked from the pressure as Maiya surged forward hitting Bazett in the arm before she even had chance to block, Maiya smiled as she was inches away from Bazett. Her right arm smashed into Bazett's chest, pushing her back, her left fist followed, every strike was timed to perfection, she got the better of Bazett within seconds, she brought her left leg to strike Bazett in the face knocking her back, however Bazett's runic gloves glowed brightly before she even lost her footing, smashing her fist into Maiya's face launching her into the air. She sailed for a few meters before flipping mid air correcting herself.

"Ouch…" Maiya said as she rubbed her bottom lip. Her eyes glowed even brighter. Suddenly a burst of mana surged around her causing a shockwave that threw Illya and Kuro who had just struggled to stand back up, onto the floor, they watched Maiya's hair forcefully blow all over the place. "YOU have made me mad, you might regret doing that." Maiya said playfully before she launched forward, going for a floor slide aiming to take out Bazett's legs, Bazet easily jumped over the attempt, she slowly turned around to face Maiya only to be hit in the jaw with an explosive strike launching her into the small tree line surrounding Luvia's mansion. Bazett looked up to see the black boot on Maiya's foot fly towards her, she barely dodged the strike before Maiya smashed into the tree causing it to rupture into thousands of splinters. Maiya turned to face Bazett as she jumped from the now destroyed tree.

Miyu was returning home after her mission for Luvia only to find the mansion was a burning blaze, she watched a sliver hair who looked similar to Illya but was taller and wore black clothing fight a fully grown redheaded woman wearing a dark brown suit. She then gasped in horror as she saw the injured Illya and Kuro. She dropped her shopping and ran straight to them.

"Illya, Kuro are you two okay?!" Miyu asked fearfully.

"Hey Miyu, better late than never." Kuro said playfully between pained breaths.

"Mi….Miyu" Illya said as she laid on the floor struggling to move.

"What happened?" Miyu asked.

"We heard strange sounds coming from the mansion, we made our way over to find it a burning wreck, we saw the redheaded women named Bazett walk from the rubble. She then attacked us, beat me easily then Illya. She was about to break Illya's arm when the new girl arrived...ugh...what did Bazett call her an...Andromedan was it?" Kuro said in pain.

"Yeah I think that was what she said." Illya agreed. They all turned to the sound of an ear deafening explosion rip through the clearing as Bazett smashed Mayia through a tree as she swung her around by holding her right leg. Bazett threw her at the last standing wall of Luvia's mansion. Maiya sailed through the air before she landed on the wall with perfect reflexes. Maiya looked up to face Bazett before another burst of mana shook the entire clearing, the very ground was rumbling from this build up of power.

"Hmm her strongest attack?" Bazett questioned as traces of energy flowed around her gloves as a small metal ball burst out a metal cylinder container that Bazett had been carrying, it flew to her hand. Mana flowed through it.

"The Answer!" Bazett stated, as rings materialised out of mana and a blade burst from the sphere. She put her right leg back as more mana and runes appeared all over her and her gloves. Maiya simply hissed at the blade before she burst from the wall destroying all but a tiny sliver of the once proud mansion.

"Fragarach!" Bazett roared as she launched the blade at Maiya. There was a blinding light, when it settled Illya gasped in horror, there on the sliver of wall hung the silver her, a glowing blade protruding from her chest. Kuro watched in fear as Bazett waved her hand and the glowing blade vanished. The corpse fell of the sliver landing hard on the floor. Bazett turned to Illya and party. She eyed the rider card in Illya's hand and she looked at Kuro.

"Would you two hand over the cards willingly?" Bazett asked.

"Never!" Illya roared.

"Ha even if I wanted to I can't the card is inside my body!" Kuro added.

"Then I will simply take them off you!" Bazett roared as Miyu grabbed Sapphire and glowed blue before she stood in front of Bazett wearing her magical girl outfit.

"Oh there is the second mystic code then? Oh well as you saw I defeated that girl, she was far stronger than all of you. What hope to you three have?" Bazett said before a familiar voice shook everyone.

"Don't...get….a...head of yourself!" Maiya roared as she was glowing a bright dark red.

"What?! I pierced your heart! You should be DEAD!" Bazett shouted as Maiya stood up. The wound in her chest rapidly closing up.

"12 Labours…..12 lives!" Maiya said before she burst forward with such a speed Bazett couldn't react before Maiya had grabbed her face and slammed it into the floor, she then proceeded to drag Bazett across the stone paved floor for a few paces before she launched Bazett into the air. Maiya glowed even brighter before she jumped her grabbing Bazett's collar and launching her back to earth. Bazett burst through the floor landing in the secret escape hatch built by Luvia.

"B-B-Bazett?" Rin and Luvia said in shock as they saw the unconscious berserker women among the rubble.

Maiya landed next to the massive crater she had created on her knees.

"Desync" she whispered as a bright golden light burst from her. When it subsided she fell onto the floor rolling around shouting "Itai Itai Itaidesu!" She said as she rolled around the floor rubbing her chest where the blade had hit.

"Ugh What the heck?!" Illya, Kuro and Miyu said in unison.

"Broken ribs, puncture to the left lung, severe bleeding both internal and external. Death shortly!" Bazett said with a smile as her heart stopped beating. As it did more runes of her creating burst into action.

"Resurrection?!" Rin asked as she watched Bazett stand up and burst through the crater.

Maiya was rolling in pain so much she didn't notice until it was too late that Bazett had jumped back out of the crater and had launched herself at Maiya.

"EEEH!" Maiya screamed in surprise as she saw Bazett launch forward, but in the corner of her eye she saw black clouds gathering quickly. A confident slowly creeped on her face as Bazett moved closer and closer but before she got near enough to strike two bolts of lightning slammed into the ground in front of the silver hair.

"My my, was I just forced to save your hide Maiya" A male voice said coming from the smoke. When it cleared there stood a blonde haired boy with violet eyes wearing a blue jacket and confidently and carrying a large golden spear in one hand as it rested on his back, he was facing Bazett but he turned his head slightly as he addressed the silver hair behind him.

"Hey I used up a lot of mana!" Maiya replied.

"How?" Isander asked still smiling.

"Huh she ummm managed to...umm stab me through the heart with a noble phantasm" Maiya replied sheepishly.

"Huh well we'll have to have some chin wagging later!" Isander said as he walked forward sparks dancing all over him as strands of electricity danced along the remains of the ruined rock path.

"HEY I am not a little kid Isander, I am older than YOU!" Maiya shouted back red faced.

"Well never mind my slightly hot headed accomplice." Isander said as he twirled the spear in his left hand.

"What is going on?" Rin asked as she emerged from the clearing supporting Luvia on her back, followed closely by Luvia's wounded butler August.

"Rin, Luvia you're alright. Thank goodness!" Illya said weakly, Rin stared at them quite alarmed to see the state they were in, they were battered and bruised. Illya could barely stand, Kuro was leaning for support, while Miyu looked fine, her eyes betrayed the fear she was feeling.

"Who are they?" Luvia gasped as she pointed to the two children facing Bazett.

"We my young Edelfelt are the Andromedans!" The silver hair said as she stood up quickly taking a bow.

"MY, my, you two have gotten a little excited haven't you?" A new voice came into the clearing.

Everyone turned to see the Irisviel walk forward wearing her white dress smiling happily until she saw the state her daughters were in. She ran to them grabbing both of them in her arms.

"Illya, Chloe are you two okay!?" Irisviel said slowly.

"Were okay Mama" Kuro said weakly while Illya nodded. Irisviel stood up her face hidden in shadow, she turned to face Isander. "Don't hold back" She said angrily.

"With pleasure my lady!" Isander said with a bow as he pulled a golden mask out of his jacket pocket.

"Ooh the mask, you're definitely not holding back." Maiya said smiling as Isander stood forward his magic circuits powered up to cause a physical manifestation as blue lines form all over his body.

"No way!" Luvia said weakly.

"At least 70% of his body must contain magic circuits for an output like that!" Rin said with a gasp.

"Illya he called mama 'my lady', what the hell?" Kuro said as she face Illya.

"Now miss Bazett I do apologise but it's time to go night night!" Isander said as surged forward swinging the spear above his head causing small bolts of lightning to smash into the ground around Bazett.

"Hmm interesting." Bazett said as she jumped backwards, Isander moved forward with a speed equal to her's, catching her off guard. Bazett swung her fist at Isander only for him to appear to the side of her out of a blue spark of light bringing his spear into her side, hitting her with the butt of the spear, she gasped in pain as she slid across the ruined rocky path.

"Teleportation?" She asked.

"Hmm kinda." Isander replied with a tilt of the head and a smile as he muttered something under his breath. His entire body began to vibrate, he moved twice as fast as before dodging Bazett's strike, he swung the spear into her face knocking her out.

"And the crowd goes wild!" Isander said with a smile as he took the mask off, his violet eyes sparkling.

"Isander that was quite lame." Maiya said shaking her head.

"Isander-chan could you take Miyu-chan, Rin-san and Luvia-san to your house till tomorrow?" Irisviel asked.

"Of course." Isander replied as he walked forward. "Miss Luvia could you and the rest please come with me?"

"Umm...yes?" Luvia replied unsure when she turned to see a pink haired teenage girl walk forward wearing a white full dress, she had blue sparkling eyes and a pink energised bird familiar in the shape of an wireframe eagle resting on her shoulder.

"Eleonore weren't you suppose to get the Caren-dono?" Maiya asked as she turned her head towards the pinkie.

"Yeah a few mishaps happened along the way." Eleonore said rubbing her head as she remembered arguing over Caren's sense of fashion which involved wearing tights without a skirt, the argument got so overboard she nearly obliterated Caren with a few familiars charging up a combined mana blast.

"Lovely something for us to sort out tomorrow then?" Isander said walking forward with Luvia and party in tow. "Eleonore could you create a form of transport for our guests?"

"Sure! Hehe" Eleonore said hopping onto one leg.

'She is way too hyper and HOW DOES MAMA KNOW THEM' Illya screamed internally.

Irisviel turn her attention to Illya and Kuro as Eleonore created a large wireframed eagle to transport Luvia and the rest. She casted a spell of concealing to hide themselves from the normal people.

"Soo I bet you want to find out who these wonderful kids are right?" Irie asked her daughters.

"Umm yes please." Illya replied.

"Well let's start with the second oldest coz the first just flew away, Maiya!" Irie said arms in the air smiling. Maiya stepped forward taking a bow in front of Illya and Kuro. "Greetings Illyasviel and Chloe, as Lady Irisviel just introduced me, I am Maiya von Einzbern. A pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." Illya said smiling while Kuro looked confused. "Hey Mama I thought you said all the Einzberns are gone?"

"Well I lied to protect you both." Irie said face down ashamed.

"Lady Irisviel lied because at the moment our family is waging a civil war for you two." Maiya said slowly.

"Maiya-chan could you stop addressing me as 'lady', call me mama Irie!" Irie said smiling.

"HUH"

"Also we can't forget the youngest can we Isander-chan!" Irie said pointing to Isander, his spear retracted back to the size of a small can which he attached to his side.

"A pleasure to meet you both my name is Isander Alexander von Einzbern. Yeah laugh at the full name." He said smiling.

"And the pinke was Eleonore-chan. They are your cousins. Oh I am so glad you get to finally meet them!" Irie said bouncing on the spot.
