CHAPTER 11: Within These Castle Walls (Part I: Bloody Tears)
Previously on Vampire Killer…
Feeling disappointed of failing to destroy the vampire hunter, Camilla ran away. However, he noticed this.
"Don't try to run away, you goddamned bathead! Come back here!"
With that, the vampire hunter was on hot pursuit.
---
"Come on! If we follow this portal, maybe it can help us bypass to Camilla's hideout!" Chris yelled.
"…are you sure that this'll be safe?" Fei Ku asked, her voice was getting curious.
"Pretty sure."
Negi and the others had stumbled upon a portal, in which the vampire hadn't been bothered to close it.
"Any idea where are we heading to?" Asuna asked.
"No."
Chris' face started to contort to an odd expression when he remembered what Camilla did to him. Amar was pretty sure that the vampire hunter was cursing the vampire under his breath.
But before they could step into the portal, it instead pulled them inside. All of them were separated inside the confusion…
- Bloody Tears-
Amar Ma'aruf woke up face flat on the ground. The background of the area was dark and gloomy. He stood back to his feet as two familiar scents…
…the twins Resha and Sherry Yamato…
"Nee-chan…"
Before he could do anything, Resha started to attack; slamming her oversized hammer to the ground, the shock of the impact threw him back to the ground.
"PSI Hammer… Delta…"
"Resha-nee-chan! Snap out of it! You're being controlled by Camilla!"
Now it's Sherry's turn to attack.
"PSI… Tornado… Sigma…" She announced in a zombie-like state.
Sherry closed her eyes, before she swung her broom at full force, generating a vicious tornado straight at the inu hanyou. He was thrown over for a few meters before crashing to a stop.
"Ugh…"
How do I suppose to stop nee-chan without hurting them? At this point, my Item Crushes are useless! They work too well with vampires like them!
Amar then saw Resha and Sherry lifting up their hammer and broom respectively to the air. Their heirloom mark on their forehead started to glow intensely, meaning that they are charging their PSI psychic powers.
"PSI Heat Wave Omega!"
"GYAAAH!"
He hadn't got the chance to react or evade when the wall of fire made contact with his body. The hanyou was scorched.
"Give up… Amar-koinu-chan… you had no space to win anymore…"
"I will have that chance to win… and I will get it much sooner than you've expected!!!" He suddenly yelled.
With his super speed, Amar rushed towards the twins, balling his fists. He the skidded right in front of them, swinging his feet in an attempt to hit them.
"You're the ones who supposed to give up! My nee-chan never said such things!"
Resha evaded the hanyou's punches, and Sherry used this space behind him to attack.
"Gotcha!"
In an instant, Amar stopped attacking Resha and he put his hands on the ground. Before long, he had his feet straight at the fox hanyou's stomach.
Gomen ne… Sherry-nee-chan…
Amar Ma'aruf quickly turned around to see that Resha was about to dunk her hammer at his head. He quickly reacted by throwing a stopwatch item. The item worked well in slowing Resha in her tracks and Amar took this opportunity to counter.
"Tail Tornado!"
In his iron-less version of the Iron Tail technique, the inu hanyou used his tail to hit Resha.
"Iron Tail!"
It was Resha's turn to fly.
"PSI Beam Omega!"
Sherry fired a beam straight at Amar, but he dodged it.
"Iron Tail!"
Again, he swung his tail at full speed, making Sherry to glide on her back to where Resha was.
"Gomen ne, nee-chan! Hydrant Star!"
He closed his eyes, with him started to shed tears. Amar Ma'aruf was afraid what will happen to his adopted sisters if he used his Item Crush at the now vampires. Rain started to fall on the three of them, and Amar could hear the sisters scream in pain.
Once the Item Crush duration ended, Amar peeked to see the sisters.
To his delight, his sisters were alive but the vampire scent had been doused off. The only thing that was destroyed was their black maid clothes, which was torn all over the place. Other than that, both Resha and Sherry were safe and sound.
"Resha-nee-chan! Sherry-nee-chan!"
"What? Ugh!" both grunted when Amar Ma'aruf pinned them both on the ground.
"I'm glad that the two of you were all right…" He said, squirming into the sister's chest.
"Amar-chan, what happened to us? Why do you look so beaten up?" Sherry then lifted the hanyou's chin. "And why are you crying?"
He quickly wiped the tears off with his sleeve.
"I had many things to tell you, but now should know the way to get out of here…"
"I can fix things up." Resha said, lifting her hammer to her shoulder. "PSI Teleport!"
The three of them turned into three balls of light before they started to fly away.
