Chapter 10: The Battle
The following day started in the most embarrassing way for Justin and Arcadia. Giriko and Vanessa had walked in on them getting dressed. The two tried to ask the couple about why they were naked with each other but both Arcadia and Justin refused to talk about it. The reason Giriko and Vanessa had walked in on them was because they got an important call from Spirit. He told them that they needed to get to the Death Room and to get there quickly. So now the four of them are hurrying to get to the Death Room, in silence. None of them seemed to want to talk about what or who they had done that night. Giriko and Vanessa had sex, just as Justin and Arcadia did. None of them wanted to talk about it because it is a private matter, not because any of them regretted it. Plus Justin and Arcadia were embarrassed about it and didn't need Giriko or Vanessa's comments on the events.
"Lord Death, what did you need us for?" Justin asked once he, Arcadia, Vanessa, and Giriko got to the Death Room.
"Well kids, it turns out that Mosquito fella has been planning to attack Death City. His army was sighted an hour ago coming towards the city." Lord Death explained. Right after he said that, two men came running into the room.
"Lord Death! The army is outside the city walls and is preparing to attack!" One of the men yelled. There was a sudden loud boom, marking the start of the attack. At that second, the twins, Arcadia and Vanessa began to feel odd. Asura's wavelength begins to surround Arcadia. As it activates her full kishin powers, she falls to the ground, screaming in pain. Arachne's wavelength begins to surround Vanessa. As it activates her full witch power, she also falls to the ground, screaming in pain. Justin moves to help Arcadia and Giriko moves to help Vanessa, but both get attacked by the wavelengths surrounding the girls.
"Arcadia!" Justin yelled, dodging the attack.
"Vanessa! What the fuck!?" Giriko yelled, as he also dodged the attack.
"Someone is controlling them." Lord Death informed the boys. Arcadia and Vanessa again moved to attack Justin and Giriko. Both boys avoided the girls' attacks. They clearly didn't want to attack the girls back, but they knew if the girls kept attacking, they would have to do something. Sure enough, Arcadia moved to hit Justin with kishin power, and he was forced to block using the guillotine blade that came from his arm. After he blocked, he moved to attack Arcadia. At the same time, Vanessa tried to attack Giriko with her witch power, but he used his chains to attack her back. Both girls attacked the boys, through their attacks, so both Giriko and Justin flew backwards and crashed into the ground.
"We must leave now." Arcadia started her voice monotone.
"But we will see you later." Vanessa finished her voice also monotone. Butterflies surrounded Arcadia and dragonflies surrounded Vanessa, after the winged insects were gone, so were the girls. Giriko and Justin groaned and got up to go after the two girls that disappeared, but Lord Death stopped them.
"I know you two want to save the girls, but you took some bad hits and need to get checked out. We also need to have a plan." Lord Death informed the two boys. Stein then walked over and looked over the boys.
"They will have some bad bruises, but they are fine." Stein told Lord Death. "Now, let's talk about our plan to get the twins back."
Lord Death, Stein, Spirit, Giriko and Justin discussed their plan. Once they agreed on what to do Stein, Spirit, Giriko and Justin left the Death Room. Stein could easily sense where the twins were, almost like they were trying to lure the four of them there. As the four of them walked across a field, they could see the twins.
"They are waiting for us…" Stein warned.
"Hello boys." Arcadia said with a smile, but her voice was still void of emotion.
"Why are you doing this?" Justin asked sadly.
"I need to finish what my father started."
"Why are you helping them, Vanessa?" Giriko started. "Why work for the people who hate you? They don't care about you. You're just a pawn in their plan. Someone they can and are willing to get rid of."
"So what, she is just a pathetic copy of me." Arcadia said harshly. Vanessa turned her head towards Arcadia. The hate in her eyes is very clear even while she's being controlled.
"Girls, kill them. Now girls!" Mosquito ordered, coming up from behind the girls. Vanessa instead attacks Arcadia. Arcadia steps backward to avoid her twin's attack and looks at her like she's insane.
"What the hell are you doing?" Arcadia asked clearly annoyed with Vanessa.
"I'm going to kill you first!" Vanessa yelled before tackling Arcadia to the ground. Now the two were rolling around on the grass, fighting with each other. They were punching each other and pulling the other's hair.
"Girls! Stop right now!" Mosquito yelled. The twins just ignored him and kept fighting with each other and kept rolling around on the grass.
"Good, out plan is working. Justin, Giriko, you two need to stop the girls and take them home. Spirit and I will handle Mosquito." Stein whispered to the two autonomous weapons. Giriko and Justin nodded and went to the girls. Stein and Spirit went to distract Mosquito.
"Remember, don't kill them. We just need to knock them out." Justin reminded Giriko.
"I know that you damn priest." Giriko growled. Both guys jumped into the catfight and pulled the two girls apart. Giriko and Justin were given sedatives to inject into the girls. Stein told them that it's the safest way to knock them unconscious. Once both boys injected the liquid into the girls, both twins fell unconscious. Once Vanessa and Arcadia were still, Giriko and Justin picked the girls up and began to run to Death City. Once they got to the city, the boys went to the Death Room where Lord Death had two chairs ready for them.
"What are you two going to do?" Lord Death asked Giriko and Justin as the two of them chained the twins to their chairs.
"We are going to try to bring them back from the spell they are under." Justin told Lord Death. "Now we just have to wait until they wake up."
