Arwen: Hi! This is chapter 2, YAY! BTW if you know who IT is, until I reveal, don't say, otherwise it ruins it! And, I'm sorry if you think it's bland (the title) but I can't think of anything else! Also, Arwen is me, okay, cause of LOTR, but I changed it to Kira1399. And, to be honest, ppl spell Rosa Mystica in different ways, some ppl say Rosae Mysticae, and Roza Myztica! So, sorry if you don't like how I spell it.
Suiseiseki: Also, she's sorry if she reviews higgledy piggledy, desu, but -
Kanaria: Inspiration comes and goes, y'know?
Suiseiseki: How DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME?! I WAS TALKI -
Arwen: If we can keep it moving on, that would be nice.
Hina Ichigo: Ah! Hina's sorry!
Arwen: That's okay, you didn't do anything.
Kanaria: Suiseiseki was taking too long, with her "desu"s all the time.
Suiseiseki: Me, desu?! What about you?! And your "kashira's?!
Suigintou: This chapter will hopefully have us not dying.
? ? ?: The future unravels, and the Rozen Maidens find themselves in the crystal world...
Suiseiseki: WHO. ARE. YOU. DESU! I want to know, desu!
Arwen: Enjoy!
Suiseiseki: WAI-
Chapter 2
(While the Rozen Maidens are going walkies around the N Field, imagine the song "Ghost Ship" from "Legend of the Dragoon OST" playing, okay, desu?)
Shinku walked towards the crystal castle (I changed it to castle, I didn't want any thoughts of the "Crystal Palace" in England.) cautiously as the others stared after her.
Strange, it... has a strange glow to it...
True enough, the castle seemed to have a pearly white glow emittating from it.
But... mixed with lavender? But then, this HAS to be Barasuishou! Even if she did crumble into pieces.
"Shinku?" Suiseiseki snapped her out of her trance.
"We should move forwards." Suigintou said clearly, the voice ringing out through the N Field.
As if by response, a clear giggle rang through the N Field. The Rozen Maidens exchanged startled looks except Suigintou, who looked determinedly ahead.
"We'll start there." she pointed to the gate of the castle , and flew towards it quickly. The others followed in her wake. But as they reached it, small white crystal formation emerged from the ground, looking alarmingly pointy. They halted in their tracks, as they grew bigger and bigger and blocked their path completely. (A/N: Can't seem to get it off italics, sorry!)
Suigintou hissed.
"We can't get through those, we'd break. Whoever created these were well prepared..."
"Yes, desu, for once the sister killer is right."
Suigintou whipped her head round.
"You are never going to let that go, are you?"
But before Suiseiseki could answer, Kanaria's voice came out of no where.
"Hey, Kana's found an entrance! Look, look!" she said excitedly. The Rozen Maidens looked to where she was pointing to see a Kanaria sized gap between the crystals.
"Well done, Kanaria. Can you fit?" asked Shinku.
"Kana thinks so!"
"So get IN, desu!"
"We shall wait here." said Suigintou, but with a touch of impatience.
Kanaria squeezed into the gap and found herself in front of the large gate.
How can I get in here, kashira... Oh look, the bars are bent over, Kana sized again! I'm going to go in! But... isn't this too easy, kashira? Oh, nevermind, I just want to find Hina Ichigo.
She jumped through the hole and into the castle, only to be greeted by an overwhelming sight.
In front of her, was a huge, empty, room with what seemed lots of columns and an altar in the middle. But it was what was on the altar which was disconcerting. It was the unmoving body of Barasuishou.
Kanaria gave a little scream and backed away.
Oh Geez! It's Bara Bara! I should get AWA- Wait, kashira... she's not moving! So... Kana can get closer to investigate, right?
She moved to Barasuishou's body cautiously, unless she would wake up.
Wow... she's broken... just like Jun said she was when he saw her break in that creepy doll maker's arms. And her eye patch thing's missing too, kashira... Jun said that thing was an... an emotion inhibbi... an emotion inhibitor! Yeah, a thing that stops her from feeling emotion so she can kill really easily, kashira. She has that sword crystal too, the one she used to... to... kill me. And... that lavender light we saw earlier...
She shook her head and backed away.
"I really need to get back to Shinku and the others now..."
She turned to run to the gate, but looked back at Barasuishou and grabbed her sword.
Just in case, kashira.
She ran to the gate and sqeezed through again, before getting to the crystalline formations again, popping her head through to see the three Rozen Maidens waiting for her. They turned to her and saw the worry on her face.
"Kanaria? Well, what's there? Is there a way out?" rushed Suigintou.
"No, Kashira, but I found something really weird! You probably want to see it now!"
"Yeah, that's great, but we STILL need to get out of here, desu!"
Kanaria smiled smugly.
"Well, that's where Kanaria, the most intelligent of the Rozen Maidens comes in! I got a sword!"
"Where on EARTH did you get a sword, chibico desu?!"
Kanaria pulled her head out of the gap and swung the sword back, wobbling slightly. (A/N: Well, she's not going to have much swordsmanship, is she?) She crashed it onto the formation as the crystals smashed and fell onto the ground. Suigintou had her wings out to protect herself from shards, while Suiseiseki hid behind Shinku. Thankfully, the shards fell around them. Kanaria was quietly panting from the weight of the sword, and said;
"I'm NOT a chibico... *pant*... y'hear?"
Suigintou pushed past the others to see an unhindered view of the castle. She walked into the castle, summoning her artificial spirit.
"Mei Mei..." she murmured quietly, as the purplish artificial light shone next to her.
When she saw the body, shocked. She quickly recovered and angrily strode over to Barasuishou, weilding her own sword high in the air, ready to strike. Before she could however, the others walked in as well and saw her and Barasuishou.
"Suigintou! Stop!" cried Shinku.
Suiseiseki reluctantly (Well, Bara chan killed her too.) heard Shinku and pointed her watering can at Suigintou as green vines shot out and wrapped themselves around Suigintou's sword arm. Suigintou growled and dropped her sword. Shinku nodded and walked towards Barasuishou, as the vines recoiled.
"Why can't you just let me -!" Suigintou spat.
"Because we need to analyse the situation. I know she killed you, she killed all of us here, but revenge can wait for later." Shinku said calmly. "Now, what IS she doing here?"
But her question went unanswered, as suddenly, long thin vines, thiner than Suiseiseki's, came out of the floor, wrapping themselves around the broken Barasuishou, as the Rozen Maidens stepped back in surprise. Once she was binded tightly, they snaked towards the others, wrapping around their ankles and wrists. They gasped and winced in pain, as they realised the vines had thorns in them. The thorny vines lifted them into the air (If you want a physical image of how this would look, watch series 1 ep 6, where Suigintou has Shinku in the air by her feathers.) as a louder giggle rang through the N Field.
A figure floated out of the shadows of the columns, closer to the Rozen Maidens.
"My my. I thought you would have figured that out already..."
Arwen: Hope you enjoyed!
Souseiseki: Review please!
