I'll have to admit, I've only finished this chapter quicker than the other two because I had no work left to do during school on Friday for Periods 3 and 4. I spent most of that time completing Chapter 2 and getting halfway through Chapter 3. I don't know how I'm going to do Chapter 4 but I'll find a way! Lol! Again thank you to everyone who has reviewed my stories. Here is Chapter 3, where Anise and Arietta pull off the next prank and where an unexpected person shows up... Who is it? You'll have to read on to find out! :P

Chapter 3: Stealing from Legretta

Anise had been lying there on her bed for hours trying to think of a God-General who seemed easy to target but had a right temper on them.

(Hmm, let's see… Largo is quite easy to fool; although he is very good at keeping his temper composed at times when he's really angry. Asch has a right temper on him but he isn't that easy to fool. He'd probably see through the plan in no time. Sync is the same and Legretta… Well she's the same too. Damn it! Why does it have to be so hard?)

A loud knock soon sounded from Anise's door.

"Who's there?" Anise called.

"It's Arietta. Can I come in please?"

Her reply seemed to sound quite timid and frightened.

(Is she all right?) Anise wondered.

"Arietta, are you ok?" Anise asked, concerned.

There was a long silence before she replied again.

"Yeah, yeah sure everything is fine!" She answered quickly.

Anise began to get suspicious. Something was not right here. She slowly climbed off her bed and approached the door. She slowly opened it to find Arietta dangling helplessly in mid-air with Sync holding onto the collar of her shirt.

"Hello Anise…" Sync greeted with a smirk. "Arietta has just been telling me about what you two have been up to recently… Something about "re-decorating" Dist's room…"

Arietta stared at Anise with widened eyes.

"I'm so sorry Anise! I tried not to tell him but he threatened to hurt my liger friend if I didn't! He has her kept captive somewhere in the cathedral!"

Sync let go of her shirt collar and allowed her to drop to the floor. Arietta quickly scrambled to her feet and hid behind Anise. Anise sighed.

"What do you want Sync?"

Sync chuckled.

"Dist has taken something valuable from me as well and I intend to get it back. I noticed you two were acting suspiciously and I have been doing some spying on you. I know that you two have created a list of pranks to use against Dist. I was wondering if perhaps I could be involved in this too; however of course if you don't cooperate then I'll have no choice but to keep Arietta's liger locked up"

Arietta's eyes began to fill with tears.

(Sync is so evil sometimes…) Anise commented in her head.

She sighed heavily.

"All right, all right, you can help; however you have to promise to release Arietta's liger friend first and not to say a word to anyone else about this"

Sync smirked.

"I'm glad we finally came to an understanding. Once we finish here I'll let her liger go"

He placed his right hand on his chest and held his other one out in front of him with his palm facing Anise.

"And I promise I won't speak a word of this. So I'm guessing what you did to Dist's room was the first one on the list"

Anise nodded.

"Yes. The second one is to steal something off of another God-General and then frame Dist for it; however I can't decide who is an easy target and has a very bad temper"

"Legretta is the one with the worst temper" Sync stated. "Maybe she would be a good bait to use for Dist"

"Legretta isn't stupid though" Arietta replied timidly. "She will know if something is up"

Sync smirked.

"Now, now, don't fret. I have an idea of fooling her. We can take her guns from her and hide them in Dist's room"

"How are we going to get her guns?" Anise questioned. "They are always around her waist, unless of course she is asleep"

"Simple. I could pretend to hurt Arietta and gain Legretta's attention. While she's distracted, you can take her guns from round her waist"

Anise thought about it for a moment before replying.

"Hmm. I guess that's not a very bad idea. It might actually work! Legretta always seems to act like a motherly figure towards Arietta"

"So where is she?" Arietta asked.

"I think I last saw her outside in the cathedral's garden" Sync answered. "If we can get her guns off of her then we can place them in Dist's room while he's out. I heard from Asch that he left a while ago to go and find some tools to fix the mess you made in his room"

"Have you seen his room yet Sync?" Anise asked.

Sync nodded.

"I have to say you did quite a good job with the place!"

"Why thank you!" Anise beamed. "But anyway, let's hurry and find Legretta before she moves to another location"

Sync, Arietta and Anise dashed off towards the cathedral's garden.

When they arrived there, they found Legretta talking to one of the Oracle soldiers. As expected they noticed her two guns were around her waist.

"Ok Arietta, run out there and pretend you're out of breath once Anise and I have hidden. Then I'll come up behind you and lightly push you. You need to fall to the floor and pretend I've hurt you. That's when Anise will take the guns from Legretta's belt. You got it?"

Arietta nodded. Sync and Anise hid behind a nearby pillar while Arietta started running towards the middle of the garden. She stopped by the fountain and pretended to be out of breath. Legretta watched curiously as Arietta began looking around. That was the signal for Sync's cue. He crept up behind her and lightly pushed her. She pretended to fall to the floor and started moaning.

"Ouch! Sync you're such a meanie!" She cried.

Legretta started walking slowly towards them.

"What's going on here?" Legretta questioned.

"Sync pushed me over!" Arietta moaned.

"I did not!" Sync retaliated. "You're just a klutz!"

Anise kept running behind one pillar and then running to another so that she could get behind Legretta unnoticed.

"Sync, I just saw you push her over. Why did you do that?"

The Tempest shrugged.

"I was bored" He replied.

Anise began to quietly sneak towards Legretta.

"You shouldn't push her anyway. Apologise this instant" She stated sternly.

"I don't see why I should"

Legretta suddenly froze as she sensed someone was behind her. Anise froze in her place. She glanced helplessly at Arietta and Sync for help.

"Arietta, pretend to kick my leg" Sync whispered.

Arietta nodded. She stretched out her right leg and gently kicked his left leg.

"Ouch!" Sync cried.

He dropped to the floor and began rolling around while holding his left leg with both hands.

"Arietta just kicked me!"

"I did not!"

Legretta sighed annoyed. Anise finally managed to get behind Legretta. She carefully began to remove one of her guns from her belt.

"I swear you both act like you should be brother and sister… Right Arietta, apologise to Sync now"

Arietta sighed.

"I'm sorry Sync"

"Sync, you apologise to Arietta"

Sync rolled his eyes annoyed.

"No"

Legretta gave him a death glare. Sync sighed heavily.

"Fine, I'm sorry Arietta" He grumbled.

Anise finally managed to remove both guns from Legretta's belt. She quickly and silently tiptoed away.

"Thank you. Now you two go back to your rooms and don't bother speaking to each other for the rest of the day"

Legretta quickly turned around and walked back into the cathedral. Arietta and Sync quickly leapt to their feet and dashed back towards Anise. She held both guns in her hands with a victory smile spread on her face.

"Now all we need to do is place these on Dist's bed and let the fun commence!" She stated with a smirk.

It took Legretta nearly all day to realise that her guns were missing. It wasn't until Anise had just gotten into bed that Legretta's cries sounded throughout the cathedral.

"WHERE ARE MY GUNS?" She screeched.

Anise started chuckling evilly. She quickly dashed out into the corridor to find the other God-Generals outside of their rooms too. The only one who appeared to be missing was Dist. Anise saw Sync leaning against the wall in light and dark green striped pyjamas. He still had his mask around his face. Anise quickly dashed towards him.

"Anything happen yet?" She whispered.

Sync shook his head.

"Not yet. Legretta is really mad though. She's sent some of the Oracle Knights to search the entire cathedral for them and has decided to search our rooms herself"

"What about Dist?"

Sync smirked.

"He came back a few hours ago and has been in his room ever since. Arietta went back in there while I distracted him to try to hide the guns somewhere else in case he decided to return them to Legretta earlier than planned. Legretta has just started searching Asch's room for them and he's having an argument with her"

Sync indicated with his head towards where Asch stood in the doorway of one of the rooms.

"Legretta, you have no right to go through other people's stuff like this! You could have just asked us to check the rooms! And besides they are only a pair of guns!" He cried.

Suddenly Asch was sent flying through the air. He landed flat on his back near where Largo stood. Arietta was hiding behind him. She carefully popped her head around Largo's right leg slightly to see what was going on. Legretta stormed out of Asch's room and gave him a death glare.

"They are only a pair of guns are they? I'll have you know those two guns are the only weapons I have! If you don't shut your mouth then once I find them you'll be the first one I kill with them!"

The rest of the group watched as she stormed into Largo's room next. Arietta was trembling.

"Legretta's scaring me…" She moaned.

Largo gently patted her head.

"Don't worry Arietta. As long as you don't get in Legretta's way you'll be fine"

Suddenly Dist's door burst open. Dist stormed out carrying Legretta's guns in both of his hands.

"Right, which one of you small minded idiots shoved these guns under my pillow!" He screeched.

Anise and Sync glanced at Arietta confused.

"You hid them under his pillow?" Sync repeated in a whisper.

"I couldn't think of anywhere else to put them where he wouldn't notice them straight away" She replied timidly.

"WHO JUST SAID THE WORD "GUN"?" Legretta shouted from Largo's room.

She stormed out the room to find Dist standing there holding both guns. Legretta's face turned scarlet. Her hands balled into fists.

"So it was YOU!" She screeched. "I should have known you'd have them Reaper!"

Dist turned around to face a very angry and red faced Legretta. His eyes widened.

"What are you talking about? Someone else placed them in my room! I had nothing to do with it! You can happily have them back if you want!"

Dist tossed them so that they landed on the floor next to Legretta's feet. That's when he realised he had made a very big mistake. Legretta picked them both up and stood in a fighting stance.

"I'm going to give you ten seconds Reaper… One…"

Dist started running down the corridor.

"TEN!"

Legretta dashed after him. Dist's cries of agony could be heard coming from further down the corridor. Sync and Anise were rolling on the floor laughing. They were close to wetting themselves. Asch rolled his eyes.

"Pathetic…" He mumbled.

He slowly walked back into his room and closed the door behind him. Largo also decided to go back to his room and left without saying a word. Sync, Arietta and Anise remained in the corridor. Anise eventually sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"That was even funnier than I actually imagined it!" She commented.

Sync stood up and brushed off his pyjama bottoms, still chuckling.

"I never realised that you two were having all the fun with this pranking stuff" He added.

"So what is the next thing on the list?" Arietta asked.

"I think we should discuss that in the morning" Anise yawned. "I'm tired"

"Yeah, so am I" Sync agreed. "Well goodnight you two"

"Goodnight" Arietta replied.

The three of them slowly walked back to their rooms as Dist's cries and Legretta's outbursts continued to echo around the cathedral.
