~*Zwei*~

After a long and grueling battle, both Zwei and the girl were exhausted. "Tell me, what's your name?"

"You'll be dead soon enough but I think I'll tell you anyways!" Started her Gloomy side but finished her Jolly side, "It's Tira! Remember that name! Oh, wait, you can't because you'll be dead!"

"Hm! Bring it on!" Zwei declared before rushing at her.

The two collided in a jubilee of sparks as sword and ring blade clashed. Tira, at first, had the upper hand, but Zwei soon over powered her with sheer strength.

"Damn you!" Tira's Jolly side screeched, "Looks like, I'll have to finish you off!" Screamed Tira,

Tira leaped at Zwei and pushed him to the ground. She proceeded to stomp her foot on to his chest, effectively pinning him to the floor and she began to spin the ring blade at maniacal speeds, dangerously close to his throat. "Hee, heh, hee! Looks like your done for! Too bad that girly won't be able to come and save you! Oh, yes, we tortured her good. We loved the look of pain and agony in her eyes as her blood dyed the ground a beautiful red!" lied Tira maliciously, enjoying the look of horror in Zwei's eyes at what she said. "Don't worry! You'll be able to join her right now… Hehehehe! Now let me hear you scream as I slice you up!" laughed Tira as she readied the deadly blow.

Dammit! Zwei screamed in his head at the bleakness of the situation. Viola... Viola was dead and it was all his fault since he was unable to protect her. "Maybe, it would be better if I joined Viola." But then he pushed away those thoughts and snarled at Tira. "No! I will not give up and die like this! And that's not what Viola would want either! Tira... you will pay!" Tira had decided to finish him off by the look of her eyes. She was about to slice his throat, but a wolf like creature appeared and parried the attack. The creature then proceed to his prey. Tira looked at the creature wild eyed. Ein! He had forgotten about his demon. But now, it was over for Tira.

Tira, with a heartbroken look, realized she was beaten, so she fled. Zwei and Ein gave chase. As she rounded a corner through the maze, Zwei heard a grunt and a crash where she had gone. He went to check it out and to his surprise he saw Viola and Tira on the ground. They must have collided, with both of them running at top speed. Tira was still in shock from crashing into Viola, but Viola was not. She had seen her chance. Viola quickly scrabbled up and pushed Tira back down when she tried to get up. Viola jumped on Tira, and swiftly used her claw to slice her throat open twice.

~*Viola*~

"It's over." Viola muttered. "The sun has been vanquished." Viola had been running through the maze trying to locate the noise of battle. When she collided with that girl, she was extremely confused. She had killed her already. But when she saw Zwei's look of determination, she did what she had to do. She killed the girl, twice.

"Thanks for the save back there Viola. Tira had ambushed me and we fought for a while. After I summoned Ein, she tried to flee but then she bumped into you." "So, how do we get out of here?" Zwei inquired. "I have an idea." Viola said.

Viola proceeded to the girl, Tira and looked into her soul. She was horrified by what she saw. Nothing. "Zwei, I don't know what to tell you, but…. I can't read her soul. It's like she doesn't have on-" Viola cut herself off, putting the puzzle together. "I had killed this girl already. She had me trapped but I escaped. I hid behind the armory door and when she came in, I slit her throat from behind."

"Really, now? That's very strange. Are you telling me that this isn't the real Tira?"

"I believe so, Zwei. "

"Well, then, that's just great. We have more of her to deal with." Zwei complained, "Wait, you said something about an armory, right?"

"Correct." Viola answered.

"Well then lead the way! We could get some new weapons! We can get a sword and shield for Pyrrah, too."

Pyrrah! Viola thought. Where could she be? They had to find her, now. "Zwei, have you even seen Pyrrah? I never saw her while I was wandering around this accursed place."

"Nor have I. I wonder where she could be?" Zwei wondered aloud, "Let us go look for her then. But how will we get out of here, Viola"

"I've a peculiar thought, but it'll most definitely work." She said with a grin.

It was nighttime outside. Viola had used her orb to smash through the roof of the tunnels so they could get out. It didn't take very long. Ten minutes, tops.

"Hm, where should we start looking, Viola?" Zwei asked.

"I don't know. Because it's night, the difficulty to find her has increased. But my powers are stronger when the moon is out, so maybe I could read somebody's soul and might find something helpful." Viola suggested,

"That's a good idea. I'll send Ein out to go and look for her. He might have better luck then us." Zwei told Viola.

Hearing the command, Ein disappeared into the night and went to search. The moon was full, that night. It was shining up high in the distant black abyss of the night.

Viola was a fortune teller by trade. She always did her readings at night. The nomad would put her orb in a holder on her table so her clients wouldn't suspect her of being a malfested.

She and Zwei walked in the cold silence of night towards their old home, before they were going to move into Pyrrah's mansion. As they reached the home, Viola went to her closet and swapped her traditional and favorite Gothic Lolita outfit for her fortune telling one.

It consisted of a red long skirt, slit at her left hip. It had a strap covering the middle part of her breast, held together by a golden ring. She wore heels and had a mask over her mouth. She also had a scarf over the back of her arms which was pinkish-red. As she was leaving, she told Zwei to be careful.

"Don't worry, Viola. I can take care of myself." He said confidently.

"It's just… I worry about you when I'm not with you. The sun will always sink for the moon to rise, but the sun may defeat the moon." She said sheepishly as she began to walk out.

~*Pyrrah*~

Pyrrah had escaped from Tira's custody only by persuading her Jolly side. Tira was bipolar to the extreme, and had violent moodswings. She had dubbed when she was happy, Jolly Side, and when angry, Gloomy Side.

Pyrrah was on her way to Viola's fortune telling shop. She knew she would go there. When she got there she sat down and waited. It was not long before Viola arrived. "Pyrrah!" Viola came rushing in, "Are you alright?" She demanded.

"Er- Well yes I am. I was at my friend Tira's hou-" She was cut off by a gasp of horror.

"Pyrrah, that woman is pure evil." The exasperated woman wailed in a calm manner, "Pyrrah, she trapped Zwei and I in an underground maze, tried to kill me and Zwei, has evil carbon copies of herself and is a maniac."

"I've had my suspicions for quite a while… I'll stop seeing Tira. I'm dearly sorry that she tried to kill you guys," Tearing up, she continued, "I mean, you're my only friends since everyone else around me starts dying-" A deathly look shot through the blonde girl's eyes. She realized the truth, the oh, so horrifying truth. "T-T-Tira… i-it was her a-all along. S-She's been killing those around me… You guys were just the only ones who escaped.." With this being said, Pyrrah burst into a fit of tears and sorrow. Pyrrah knew Viola was a very cold and indifferent woman to others, so it made her feel much better when Viola hugged her and said, "Don't worry Pyrrah, you're safe now with us." Viola whispered as she caressed Pyrrahs head gently, "It'll all be all right…".
