"Damn it!" Saya exclaimed the moment Amshell took Hagi down with what looked like a purple blot of lightning. Despite the fact that everything they had planned to execute went smoothly, she did not want anyone to get hurt, or worse, killed. They had come too far in their efforts to die now… Solomon charged towards his brother, and quickly cut off the latter's arm before any more damage could be done, splattering his blood on the beams of the backstage catwalk, on the velvet curtains, and on the floor.
Amshell smirked to himself. "Indeed, becoming a father has heightened your powers, little brother," he said to Solomon as he reattached his arm. "That is just as well, for you have much to protect now, do you not?" The eyes of the Goldsmith brothers glowed red and within seconds, they were in full Chiropteran form, attacking one another furiously.
"Solomon!" Saya shouted the moment Solomon made to pursue Amshell, who had crashed through the roof of the MET, but had no time to do anything, as she had to parry an attack that came from James. She saw him launch an enormous spike from his arm, but her vision blurred again, causing her to almost. However, when her vision came back, Hagi had shielded her with his own body.
James looked amused. "I will protect Mama by killing you, Saya!" he exclaimed, noticing that her strength was diminishing as the time of her hibernation would come soon. It would take more than brute force to defeat him, brute force that she always relied on. He could see every attack she threw at him, as well as Hagi's. Yes, they were experienced warriors, but they had no experience in combat with more powerful Chiropterans. Killing these two would be easy, he thought. That was what he thought.
The moment Diva's song had finished, she jumped in between James and Saya, and cut her sister, coating her sword with Saya's blood. James was immediately confused. Why, why was his Queen using her sister's blood? What was her motive? Why would she want to do that? Unless… unless… Taking a step back, the Chevalier looked at his Queen once more, hoping that she would clarify her actions. Hoping that she will say that it was part of her plan… But Diva only laughed. "You're a silly child, James." She replied, walking daintily towards him. "I'll have to kill you now, so hold still…"
"What?" James exclaimed. "But, Mama, I have only served you!" But Diva giggled as she always did. With glowing sapphire eyes, she replied that he had readily continued to carry out Amshell's orders knowing full well that he wanted to use her daughters for his own causes. Only then, did he realize the true reason why Diva had discarded him. He had done her wrong, and he had to pay for it, But what about Solomon, who betrayed her for Saya? Soon, what he felt was only rage, only anger until he swiped at Diva with his large appendage.
"I'm sorry, child. I have to kill you…" Diva said softly, and thrust her sword into his abdomen. Before he could crystallize completely, she bent to give him one last kiss. He called her name a last time, and fell back towards the floor, disintegrating into thousands of red and white stones upon impact. In the theater, all the members of the audience had evacuated the building, leaving only the Chiropterans that had emerged at her singing. Until Amshell and Solomon had returned, all they could do were to take those down. It was then when Saya told Hagi to seek the brothers Goldsmith out. "But, will you be alright?" he asked, and at Saya's smile, he immediately took off with his wings and Chiropteran hands fully-fledged. "So, Nee-sama, shall we?"
With Nathan's help, both Queens destroyed the bulk of base-level Chiropterans when Solomon fell through the hole in the roof. "Nii-san is not really happy," he said dryly at both Queens. Seconds later, Hagi crashed down in the same fashion, creating a second hole. "Ah, Hagi, how nice of you to drop in." Ignoring his sarcasm, Hagi threw one of his daggers towards Amshell, who was hot on their trail.
But something was stalling him… Three figures had attacked the most powerful of the Chevaliers, giving the others a chance to recover from their injuries. "Don't tell me that Amshell does not have even the slightest scratch on him?" Nathan asked, rubbing his temples. Sadly, both younger Chevaliers shook their heads. "With your abilities, Solomon and Hagi, you both should be able to impale him on the Chrysler building."
Diva looked at the others impatiently. "So what are we going to do? Let the Schiff do all the work?" she demanded. "We should get out there and help them out! Nathan, you stay here and keep my babies safe." This was one motion that everyone agreed on, and the moment they got to the back compound of the MET, what they saw was a rain of bullets and blood. Amshell… all her life, she had feared him. Yes, he was her Chevalier, but first and foremost, he was a man who wanted her all to himself. He wanted to discover that wonders she could create, and relentlessly pursued his unethical hunger for her. "Amshell, stop this right now!" she shouted with all her might.
"Finally acting as a Queen, Diva?" Amshell asked furiously. "The blood of these fools tells me that you have negotiated peace with Saya, and you wish to kill me?" At a height of fourteen feet in his Chiropteran form, he was at a gargantuan size, but Diva knew that she had to stop being afraid of him to make sure that her daughters were safe. "How can you do this to me? I, who cared for you all these years,"
More Red Shield agents shot at him, but the moment he spread his wings and flapped them once, the bullets fell like pieces of paper in the wind. "If you loved Diva, you would have stopped Joel from keeping her in that tower!" Saya shouted. "If you loved her, you would not have let us be separated, and caused her to create so much chaos!"
Amshell glared at Saya. "If I recalled correctly, Saya, you were the one who wanted to destroy Diva in the first place. And if it was not for you, Diva would still be locked in that tower and I would have her all to myself!" Unable to take in anymore, the Queen with ruby eyes ran towards him with her blood-coated sword, but was struck with his lightning-bolts before she could attack him. "So beautiful, yet so feeble… You were a formidable enemy, dear Saya, but I am afraid that it is the time you died for once."
"Saya!" all shouted, hoping that she would regain consciousness, but with no avail…
