A/N: Apologise guys as this fic as been on an extended break and was subjected to a complete overhaul and had an idea in order to wrap this up but it may be a bit 'out there' and OOCness so forgive.

Many thanks to the people that reviewed previously and helped me with the previous chapters when faced with a block

Chapter Ten: Into Battle

"Amelia." She growled

"Agatha." She replied angrily

They greeted each other simultaneously as their festering hatred and growing contempt surfaced and fast became apparent to those that were in close proximity to the twin sisters.

The twin sisters perfectly represented a yin and yang symbol as one sister epitomized all that was equal and fair with the warmest of hearts that depicted her as a caring mother figure to all of her students and colleagues alike, while the other sister had embraced the darkness and forever in the pursuit of revenge, she was cold and selfish that even her own blood could no longer warm her heart. Revenge and loneliness plagued her and the only thing that would satisfy her was the demise of her twin sister, her own flesh and blood.

They were polar opposites but managed to simply co-exist until now when everything from their trouble past as young children, turbulent and unpredictable teenagers and even as older women, everything had been building up and leading to this very moment.

Imogen and Davina remained in the background, offering their unquestionable support and they braced themselves for the verbal onslaught that would spew from the cesspool mouth of the enraged twin.

Betty and Millicent cowered in the shadow behind Agatha, intimidated by her power, she had transformed into someone they barely recognised and who was capable of unspeakable horrors and limitless power as they witnessed what the festering anger and seething darkness had done to their friend.

"I am taking back what should have been rightfully mine. You will either stand down or face the consequences." Said Agatha in a calm, collected voice while her fists shook attempting to control the growing power, prepared to unleash a powerful wave of energy directly at her sister.

Amelia glanced at her faithful colleagues whom she considered to be her friends and the closest thing to an extended family before maintaining her rigid stance against her sister, "I cannot allow that, we stand united."

Energy crackled between Agatha's fists before settling into a casting stance of her own, "So be it." She hissed

Any lingering humanity vanished in an instance, her conscience would be clear after offering one last opportunity of allowing her sister to surrender, this would be all Amelia's own doing.

Constance was unprepared for the blind attack as Hecketty appeared directly behind her simultaneously as thunder crashed and echoed over the sky which discreetly masked her approach.

"Rule number one, always be prepared...have your retained anything that I taught you?"

Constance landed hard against the slick marble ground, she groaned and attempted to launch an attack of her own but Hecketty was quicker and struck her again with a fireball of energy that impacted against her back and caused her to scream out in agony, she withered on the ground.

Hecketty snaked her hand through her wild hair and forced Constance onto her knees and stared intently into her eyes, "You have your father's eyes." She whispered

"He was a brilliant man and then you happened!" Growled Constance, ignoring the pain as Hecketty tugged sharply on her hair "You poisoned him against me..."

She rolled her eyes, "You were nothing but a meddlesome brat, and even your own father couldn't stand the sight of you and sent you away."

Constance shook her head, "You planned those ideas into his head and proceed to haunt me, and I've never been able to escape you..."

Hecketty smirked, "Yes, I have been relentless but no-one neither humiliates me nor escape me unless I go bored or weary of you. You have defied me multiple times...you need to be punished accordingly. No-one dares to defy me." Her eyes bulged angrily

Constance pushed Hecketty and threw a ball of energy landing against her chest and throwing several feet away from her, giving her a brief moment to catch her breath and organise her thoughts.

"That's it, fight me...challenge me, Constance. You know you want to." Teased Hecketty poised in anticipation

"Enough of this, where is Mildred?" demanded Constance

Hecketty grinned wickedly, "Ah! Yes, your faithful student...perhaps she could witness the downfall of her beloved teacher after all I can offer her much more than you ever could."

"No! No-one else should suffer needlessly at your hands, I will not allow it."

"Let's bring little Mildred here, to play spectator if you will." Said Hecketty as she clicked her fingers
