Chapter 13 : Dead end

When Mai's group entered in the room were Arika was , the word "room" cannot describe it anymore . Even ruins would be too much . Mashiro almost burned the whole floor back then but now it was so destroyed because of the fight that it looks like paper . The walls were still there but the notches on it that if you wanted to spy on the other room , there were no problems anymore . Both Tomoe and Arika looked really down and they were bleeding a lot . they were sweating and the arrogant Arika who made fun of Mashiro back wasn't looking good right now …

' Tomoe ! we're finally here !' yelled Gal at her attention but the young girl didn't heard it .

' Everyone , let's do it ! if we attack together , Arika won't be able to dodge us all'

' You're right Mashiro , let's do this ! Girl , get …'

In spite of her health , Arika woke up and threw at Nao one of the two swords she was holding with difficulty but Nao caught it with the right claw .

' That's all you've got girl ? If I knew , I would have stay …You're so weak ..'

' Nao , shut up .. it's because she gets seriously hurt surely ..look at Tomoe , she isn't well too ..'

' Good remarks Gal . So you're the new Nao , hum ? interesting . The Nao I know avoid death one time but the second time she didn't succeed . She made the mistake to choose the bad side … Garderobe's one . Too bad this girl used to have huge skills like the claw she used to use for fighting but look like the SSA gave you two ..and the funniest thing is that you didn't invoke your little child yet .. Imagine how powerful you could be if you join….'

' Shut up , Gakki! I'm a nun , not Judas and moreover , I really don't care about power and others things like that. I just want to beat the bad guy and go home . So died , Antsy !'

And Nao jumped on Arika and gave her an uppercut who send her hitting the chimney badly .

' Well these claws aren't bad after all …'

Arika stayed unconscious but quickly , she get up and faced Nao again .

' Did you really think that an uppercut can kill me ? You really still have a lot to learn kiddo …'

' Are you asking for more ? Come on bit…..'

Without noticing , Arika already hit her back as badly as Nao did and Nao hit a pillar and felt down on the floor.

' Geez , you hurt me really bad , bitch … Then who's next ?'

' Why .. are you …using the word … next ? you didn't ..beat me , Antsy !' answer Tomoe who was suffering

' Still alive , hum ? remember , the first time we were opponents , you managed to survive when I made you fall despite the violence of my attack and now you're trying to do the same ? because if you really want it , I can kill you right now you stupid spoiled kid !' answer Arika , angry , while she was kicking the poor Tomoe still on the floor , bleeding .

' Stop that Arika ! Don't you see she is already hurt enough like that ? I know you're stupid but stay a little bit human !'

' Aren't you Fuuka's Shiho ? That's crazy , even in another world , you're still ugly and tiny … Are you going to do some maki-maki on me ? that would be so fuuun!'

' what are you talking about psycho ? If you keep going , I'm gonna make you suffer like you did to Nao and Tomoe !'

' Oh no Maki-maki ? too bad ! Then I have to get rid of you and of course , I'm ready to kill each one of you if Miyu don't come with me …'

' You already hurt two of my friends ! I won't let you continue ! Death Guardian Shiho : First song , Eternal Sorrow !'

Then Shiho took her flute and start playing an very depressing melody . Arika's vision started to decrease and instead of the usual faces , Arika was now seeing death skulls .

' So , Dear Arika-sempai , are you feeling that well ? Don't you want to see a optician ?'

' What's this ? The Shiho I know … cannot … do things like that …'

' Woaw , Shiho became really scary .. I don't know if I would be able to beat her now .. Last time , it's Mikoto who did it , I was too scared to do it because of the stake of the fight …but right now , I'm really scared of her .'

' Mai … Don't worry . I'm here and Shiho is with us . Moreover , she isn't jealous of you anymore so that's fine.' Answered Yuichi while she was hugging Mai .

' Girls ! It's the right time ! Come and help me ! We have to cooperate to take her down . Do it quickly while she is still unable to move . I won't be able to hold her very longer'

' Let's go ! She hurt Nao and Tomoe ! we have to make her pay !'

Then quickly , Arika was surrounded by Shiho , Shizuru , Gal , Mashiro , Natsuki and Haruka . Yukino stay with Mai and Tate , both protected by Alyssa and Miyu .

' Now , Arika , you have no way to escape .. if you move , someone will kill you . just look around you : Natsuki can shoot you when she wants , Shizuru's spear is right on your back and we , the others , are holding the rest of the room . So what do you want , Talking or Dying ?'

' Do you really want my answer , Queen of the hell ? Oh sorry ex-Queen of the hell … because Mai is the one right now !'

' You know , theses little provocations won't work . I know that I'm not the Queen of the hell anymore but I didn't loose my powers but I won't tell you how . You would try this method on your dear Erstin …That's too bad , even when you succeed to make her live again , she never get her powers back and beside she didn't even remember you ! Must be really depressing , isn't it ?'

'DON'T YOU DARE TALKING ABOUT ERST-CHAN ! NO ONE CAN TALK ABOUT HER WITHOUT MY PERMISSION !'

' Oh , the little girl is mad at me … what are you going to do ? Trying to kill me ? If you do that , you'll be the dead one so use a little bit your brain and …'

but recklessly , Arika , mad at Mashiro after all theses provocations , try to jump on her . Without thinking , Natsuki shot her in the chest . She felt down and start bleeding a lot on the floor .

' I guess this is it . Since Mashiro's death , I knew that someone was following me and it was the death in fact …At least , I'll be able to join her in the paradise .'

' Traitors won't go to paradise , you should know it , bitch .' added suddenly Nao , still hurt .

' I'm not catholic so I guess this precept doesn't concern me .'

' Even if you're not catholic , you won't join your master . Betrayal is not something that Windbloom's god forgive . So you'll got to hell anyway .' replied Gal .

' So this is a goodbye . It was fun to hang out with you even if it was very quick . And Mai …. Sorry for all the troubles . I didn't want to lie to you at first but …'

Suddenly , Arika's earring started to shine and explode before Arika has a chance to finish her sentence . When the smoke disappeared , Arika was dead . In the meantime , a screen appeared too and when everything and everyone was calm , the faces of the two Nagi appeared and look at the Mai's group .

' Good evening everyone !' greets Nagi Dai Artai smiling at Gal especially .

' It's a pleasure to see that all of you are safe especially you , My hime .. I wish you'll dance for me again , Mai-chan ….' Added the other Nagi .
