"An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth"~Hammurabi
Torture Room
Normal P.O.V
Now that Richard and Nar came to Fiona's rescue the only thing left for them to do is to decide what to do with him. Fiona was looking at the scene in front of her. She was still bounded to the wall,but for the first time she didn't care. Xander's eyes were wide and a million questions were running through his mind.
'Who's the man in black!?' 'How did they find us!?' 'Why couldn't they come after I finished shoving the hook up Fiona's-'
"I can hear you" Nar said in a dark tone and a harsh glare that can even make Him shiver.
"Nar just told me via telepathy." Richard said in a bone-chilling voice.
"I'm not going to let you kill me so easily-"
"Kill? That would be too easy" Nar said.
"People like you don't deserve a quick death." Richard said grabbing Xander's neck before he could attack him with the hook. The grip was tight and felt constricting, but not too much force to kill him.
"Its time that the famous Punisher got punished for a change"
"Indeed" Nar said now radiating in darkness.
Richard has always been a fan of Hammurabi and took a great liking to his code. In fact for an art project in his school days he made a replica of Hammurabi's Code and carved all of his rules on a block of stone. It is currently in his castle's Art Hall. Hammurabi's Codes are the prime example of brutally and balance. Richard takes a great linking to both of those things, and as such it would be his pleasure to enforce he laws of the deceased Babylonian King.
"Who's going first?" Fiona asked from where she was, making everyone look at her. Most would expect Richard to have a tiny smile or a decent smirk at the sound of her voice, but Richard's face was still cold and neutral. He is very strict with who sees his facial expression,but he never had to fix his face purposefully. It was natural for him to show no emotion. It was a kuudere thing. This is why the news of his engagement was shocking, since most people believed he was asexual.
"I will. Its best to do psychological torture before physical" Nar said shadow constructing a shadow tendril. Xander looked at Nar's powers with fascination, curious, and slight fear. Xander can be easily amazed,since he is a resurrected vampire. First he sees the technology in the modern world and now he is seeing powers he has never witnessed before. He can't help,but be amazed but it. Darkness itself my seem like its own power, but it is much more complex than most would think.
"Agreed" Richard said keeping a hold on Xander's neck so he can't move.
Nar inserted his shadow tendril to rummage around his brain to unnerve him. Xander started to squirm and jerk at the foreign feeling. Noting this, he released Xander so that he could focus more on the fact that his mind is being nerves in Xander's brain felt like they were pulsing, which made him roll on the floor back and fourth as if he was having a child-like tantrum. His eyes were wide and he clenched his teeth so tight Fiona thought they were going to crack any minute.
"And...found his center" Nar said when his tendril found the center of Xander's brain. The shadow tendril then overstimulated the fear centers of his brain. By doing this, Xander is now seeing his greatest fears before him. Nar amplified his fears ten times over to put him in a state of paranoia and anxiety. What can someone as cruel and violent as the Punisher by afraid of anyway? Well they are a few things that even he would consider his fears.
First of is Richard. He never told a soul, nor did he express it, but every vampire knows why vampires call him Lionhearted in the first place. When King of England he was called that for his courage, but now he is called that for his strength, power, and appearance. No one has seen Richard fight seriously in centuries, but Xander was there when he did. He remembered it clearly thanks to Nar's tendril overstimulating his brain. Richard's cold soulless eyes that could paralyze a snake, his sharp teeth, claws for nails, and his roar. Oh how that roar made every fiber in his being tremble. Xander remembered how Richard liked the rip limbs from his victims, but if you did the same to him it would just reattach to his body. He saw himself cutting Richard's left leg over and over and over again, but it just kept going back. It was like Charlie Brown and the football, or a clown pulling out a handkerchief;no matter how much do it you get the same result. Seeing Richard like that scarred him. The interesting thing was he only saw Richard from afar.
Second is Damphir. Xander fears him way more than he fears Richard. That's why he's a Rauvian in the first place. The difference is he would allow some traces of fears when it came to Damphir, and the mere fact that Damphir can bring his fear to the surface showed how intimidating he was. Damphir's mind set is what probably scared Xander the most. Damphir thinks that killing children in front of the parents would 'convince' others that dare question his authority, he thinks that burning houses of those who frown upon the Rauvian name would make them 'smile', and he thinks that destroying those with power would make him gain it. When someone is that power-hungry, to the point where they automatically come to violent solutions on the norm, then you couldn't help but question if you were going to be next.
The last thing is failure. Just think. Dying, waiting all those years, just to come back to life. Having a plan of many centuries and knowing this is your last and final shot of succeeding. One thing, or one person can ruin all that planning in an instant. Its different dying for a cause when you know you'd resurrect again. You didn't take that death seriously because you'd just say 'I have one more life left' or 'I'd do better in the next life'. Your last life, however, truly opens your eyes. It makes you a bit paranoid that the one second you let your guard down someone, or something would end it in an instant. And this time there's no coming back. Yearning for power with your comrades, feeling stronger since you persevered your strength for centuries. Positive that with this strength you could even defeat an elemental vampire. You'd get cocky, arrogant, yet cautious as well. The closer you get to a goal the more afraid you'll be that something will take it away from you. The mere thought of going through all that for nothing...is definitely something to fear.
'We're...so...CLOSE!' Xander said gripping his hair under the effects of Nar's shadow tendril. His eyes were wide in shock and fear, his body was trembling and sweating, short screams escaped from his mouth from time to time, and he couldn't stay still at all. He rolled around the floor, buried his face in his knees, and finally huddled in the fetal position. Nar has successfully turned one of the greatest torturers in Supernatural History into a quivering mass of a man...in five minutes.
"Good show" Richard said with his accent coming out randomly.
"Thanks" Nar said dissipating the shadow tendril. "Your turn"
Richard nodded and turned to his wife. "What did he do to you exactly?"
"I woke up bounded to this wall and the chains are rigged so if I move a vervain-filled dart wouls hit me" his wife answered regularly.
"I see...Nar?"
With the snap of the Shadow Lord's fingers Fiona and Xander switched places.
"What then?"
"Let's see..." Fiona said thinking.
"Prepare for a long list" Nar said to Richard, who nodded. He was able to restrain himself better now that he is with Fiona again.
"He cut me with a blade, stabbed me, used a ball on chain, branded me, broke some bones, hung me, and this knife was in my chest for a while" Fiona said finally taking the blade of out her cleavage.
"I see..." Richard said getting a new knife and proceeded to cut Xander in his own way. He slashed his arms, abdomen, and legs diagonally. Xander gritted his teeth, since he was still being affected by Nar's tendril. The Vampire King then stabbed Xander right in his sternum and blood automatically gushed from his body.
"I'll leave that there" Richard said in a cold and neutral tone.
He got another ball and chain weapon and proceeding hit Xander with it over and over again. It was good exercise for the arms, and a good outlet for his anger as well. The main spot Richard would aim for is his abdomen. He noticed every time he hit it the knife in Xander's sternum would pop out a bit, and then he good could just stab it back in. Remembering Fiona's broken collarbone Richard took the weapon and banged it on Xander's until he heard the loud 'crack' sound. Then he smashed his knee caps with the same weapon even though that didn't happen to Fiona.
Fiona was standing on both her feet,allowing her body to heal, while Nar stood next to her watching Xander's punishment happily.
"You...branded...my wife. Its really hard to look at your face and not rip it off your neck." Richard said going to Nar. the Shadow Lord, having a natural understanding, shadow constructed a branding iron that is already smoldering hot and gave it to Richard.
"Where did he do it?" Richard asked Fiona without looking at her. Xander has a pained expression on his face, but barely screamed.
"My leg.." Fiona answered watching Richard with slight awe. He was punishing her for him. She felt flattered, happy, and a bit intimidated all at once.
Richard pressed the branded iron on his leg, and it imprinted a roaring lion on his leg. He kept it there for two minutes, which goes really slowly in this case, before bringing it back to see the burned mark. Xander just got owned.
"What was that last thing?"
"He hung me" Fiona answered
"Can't release him just yet... Nar think you can give the chains a tug?"
"Of course" Nar said smirking and shadow constructed some hands to yank the chain so multiple vervain tranquilizers would pierce Xander's body. Three hit his forehead, around 50 hit his abdomen, 35 hit his chest, 20 hit each of his legs, and 15 hit each of his arms in perfect lines. By just looking at the pattern and precision Richard could tell that Xander rearranged the traps himself. Xander screams for the first time and felt his body weaken due to the burning sensation of vervain invading his body. Small streams of steam started to rise from the holes in his body, and his blood turned crusty due it entering his blood stream.
"One more thing before we take off" Richard said grabbing his neck because it was the only part where vervain didn't stab his body. He walked over to the hanging rope and shoved Xander's head into the hoop, tightened it, and let gravity do the rest. Xander made a few gagging sounds by the thickness, and skin tearing material of the rope, but Richard was not satisfied. He walked a few feet to get the long reach hook that the Punisher has dropped. Xander turned his eyeballs to look at his King grab the vile instrument.
"I didn't use that on her!" Xander yelled at Richard.
"Yes but you were going to. In fact if Nar and I weren't here then I'm 100% positive that this would be penetrating my wife. Am I wrong?"
At that moment Xander breathed slower and slower. He wasn't going to die now, but a realization came to him. By having Fiona free, being the punished instead of the Punisher, and not having Fiona answer all of his questions he failed. His greatest fear wasn't just in his mind exploited by the shadow tendril. The truth is he failed as soon as Nar and Richard arrived in his Torture Room. Xander's pupils shrunk with his mental discovery and just wanted to die and stay dead. He'd rather be killed by Richard than Damphir, his greatest fear. However Richard doesn't kill for revenge. He kills to get rid of nuisances. When it comes to revenge he tortures foes until they are at their last breath then let's nature do the rest.
"Nar, sweetie, do you really think Richard would-" Fiona's whispering was cut off from a somewhat high-pitched yelp.
Richard jammed the long reach hook in Xander's arse and it tore a hole in his pants and boxers. The long reach hook left behind clean cuts of various sizes on the Punisher's skin while trying to find the entrance. It didn't take long. After rummaging between the buttocks Richard found the entrance to sodomize Xander with the long reach hook. Xander screamed by the sharp object violating him and his flesh tearing. The King unemotionally pushed the weapon up further at a constant speed. The long reach hook brutally scraped his insides and filled it with a painful stinging feeling. Blood started to drip down from Xander's arse and a piece of torn-off flesh fell in front of Richard's feet.
"Yes" Nar answered Fiona with a sadistic smirk replacing his usual composure. Fiona covered her mouth and gasped at little at the sight.
"I can't believe it...Richard is so sweet!" Fiona said swooning a little at her husband's anti-heroic actions.
Once the King realized the long hook couldn't go any further he simply released the handle and left it inside him. Xander's throat was already hoarse since he screamed the most at this part. His breathing is heavy and the vervain left his body weak and limp. Flesh and organs were peaking between the more brutal cuts on his skin. Richard simply turned his back to the Punisher and started to walk out the room to let Xander hang there and die. He estimated his had about 45 minutes left in him. He was still strong, despite the vervain heavily damaging his body, and because of this he wasn't going to die instantly.
"This cigarette brand is horrible" Richard said noting the cigarette smell in the room. Nar chuckled at his comment and Fiona ran up and hugging him tightly around the neck. Richard hugged back with an exhale of relief. The Shadow Lord smiled at them as the released each other from their embrace. They had much more work to do.
"What's wrong?" Nar asked noting that Fiona was biting her bottom lip.
"I-I never got to let it out" The Queen answered fidgeting a little.
"Well you might as well before we leave" Richard said. Fiona nodded and finally released the sound that she's been holding back for so long.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~..."
Xander's eyes widened at the elongated moan that came from Fiona's mouth.
From his quarters Damphir could hear the moan very faintly. His eyes narrowed slightly.
'I told them that they could have sex after we takeover the Vampire Kingdom!' the Rauvian Leader thought with a tick mark.
In a different section of the underground bunker other Rauvian members were conversing with each other but stopped and looked up when they heard the moan.
"I told you Xander couldn't resist Fiona" Ryder said smirking.
"What makes you think that's Xander and Fiona?" Davon asked his friend.
"What makes you think Xander could actually make Fiona moan? She's with Richard" Ramona said crossing her arms over her busty chest.
"So? That doesn't mean if Xander fucks her she wouldn't moan" Erin said.
"You guys should be more concerned of how Damphir would react if he knew it was Xander and Fiona in the first place" Claudia said.
"He'd probably be jealous" Davon said shrugging.
"No he wouldn't. He's attracted to Ririka" Erin corrected him.
"Oh yeah. I bet Jocelyn is jealous of that fact!" Davon said and everyone else nodded.
"...AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~..."
"How long is this moan going to be?" Claudia asked raising and eyebrow.
"She was probably being stubborn and tried to hold it back in resulting in..well..this" Ramona said.
"She must have strong lungs" Erin said and everyone nodded with wide eyes. The four of them remembered Damphir's recent orders to go out and find the royal children and ran vampire speed out the bunker to look for them.
Back in the torture room Fiona's five minute moan as come to an end and she sighed happily. Richard's neutral face did not falter during those five minutes and Nar simply chuckled.
"Sh-She's been a masochist... this whole time..!?" Xander said between gags.
"Yup" Fiona said smiling before turning to Nar. "Oh and Nar"
"Yes Fiona?" the Shadow Lord replied to his friend.
"Thank you for watching Richard" the Queen said happily.
"I'm not a pet" Richard said unemotionally.
"If anything it would probably be the other way around" Nar said with Richard giving a slight nod in agreement.
"We should move on now" Nar said to the Royal couple and they nodded.
"I have to deal with Damphir" Richard said narrowing his eyes and left the torture room.
"I have to deal with Jocelyn" Fiona said becoming serious and leaving as well.
"And I have deal with everyone else in here." Nar said leaving last looking for his next fight.
Bottom Floors of Vacant Corners
The supernatural-world famous Kinoshita twins were fighting off foes left and right while the PPGZ flew up to the very top floor. Along with the PPGZ, they were pretty shocked to see how many minions were gathered. Using their elements, the twins cleared a path and the four heroines used the elevator. Hikari's feisty attitude shows in battle, and Aoki fought in a whole new way that even Hikari wasn't aware of. He fought brutally, his aim was vile, and that smirk would never leave his face. That smirk..it seemed almost...sadistic.
"STELLAR SWIPE!" Hikari yelled. The gold stars engraved on her brass blade glowed as she slashed her sword downward. During that action a gold beam with white stars struck a large group of minions.
"Ha!" Hikari said with a proud smile before dodging a bomb that would've trapped her in an explosion.
"Its not smart to drop bombs in a closed area" Aoki said kicking the bomb over a couch where some enemies crouched down to avoid the explosion. Instead, the bomb landed right in front of them. The four minions stared at it with a puzzled expression that quickly turned into a shocked one.
"Wait. Is that the...?"
"Oh shit!"
"Isn't that ironic?"
"Baka! Don't be so calm! We're about to-"
BOOOOM!
Aoki and Hikari watched as the miniature explosion made limbs, flesh, blood, and bone splat all over the floor in that particular area. There was even a piece of brain that escaped the unfortunate guy's skull. Hikari simply blinked before diving back into the fray. Aoki chuckled at the results, that smirk never leaving his face, and prepared his own attack for the three minions that were currently over his heads.
"LEAF SLASHES!" Aoki called and summoned three funnels, narrow-sized, of sharp leaves to cut the three minions above him. As a result, their bodies returned to the ground in the form of clean-cut cubes.
Aoki grew some Venus fly traps to bite and grab a group of new minions that recently arrived. With both siblings focused on their opponents they didn't notice the more burly and swift man arrive to the scene. As soon as Damphir gave him the orders to find the royal children the first place this Rauvian went was the Home of the Helpers. He knew at least one of them would be here, but two is even better. The melee was his perfect cover as he silently picked a target. Gender didn't matter to him so it was 50/50 chance for either twin. His eyes looked over at the forest vampire. Venus fly traps surrounded him and can attack even if he isn't looking. If that was his target he'd have to get past the animistic plants before even reaching the target. He then glanced at the golden-streaked vampira. She wielded a scimitar that seemed to have its own particular shine. The vampira slashed her opponents with great focus. He watched as she vampire jumped over her newest foe before kicking her in the neck, making it break. All those actions caused the opening he was searching for. His target would be Hikari.
WHOOOOSH!
It all happened so fast. No one had time to process what just happened. One second Hikari landed from breaking her opponents neck, then the second after that the sinister silhouette merely passed her, about a millisecond after that she felt a sharp pain and her own blood sprayed from her side, and then she was knocked into a wall face-first. Only after the assault was done was she able to scream, but that didn't mean it wasn't to be loud.
"AAH!" was all the stellar vampira allow to escape from her mouth before her fangs poked out as she hissed.
The room was dead silent at this point. The minions grinned with pride as they finally acknowledged one of the Resurrected Twelve, and glorified how quickly he sent the foe on the floor. Aoki turned around hearing the loud 'BANG' due to Hikari's collision with the wall. Ember eyes grew wide followed by a dash as the older twin went to his younger twin's side.
"KARI!" He yelled worried and knelt down beside her. Hikari's eyes were still clenched shut due to the blow in the head. Aoki felt her scalp carefully and felt part of her skull actually move. It was then he knew that she has fracture on the back of her head.
"Futago.." Hikari groaned moving her head down, finally opening her eyes in slits. Aoki followed her gaze and his mouth hung open at the sight of his wounded sister. Her right side is brutally slashed, by what looked like a machete, and her apple-red blood is currently gushing out. Her flesh is ripped like paper and bone can be seen if you look long enough. The slash was pretty deep too. It gave off the affect that if Hikari were to sway her upper body to the right then the wound would extend all the way to the left side, with only her spine keeping the two halves together.
Aoki has a bunch of emotions buzzing through his mind right now. To name a few there was rage, shock, concern, and the one that seemed to be the strongest was vengeful. With all these emotions growing at the sight of his sister, the chuckling from Hikari's attacker, and the proud smirks of the minions Aoki's heartbeat grew faster. He felt this tingly feeling in his veins that felt almost...sinister. He'd be lying if he said he hasn't felt it before. Usually he would have to have levels of anger and rage sky-high to get this feeling but it did happen before.
The forest vampire always had a gut feeling that there was this, as he called, 'inner' inside him. And this 'inner' was much more violent and evil than he really is. However, it was always mild so he shrugged it off all his life. Everything changed last summer when Akuma possessed him. Having one of the evilest demons in Hell inside him seemed to have given life to this so called 'inner' and started to develop in Aoki even after Tsuki pulled Akuma out of him. After that incident even his own conscious seemed to have merged with the 'inner' within the ember-eyed vampire. He has told Hikari, since she can sense it too, but no one else. Not his parents, and definitely not Tsuki. The 'inner' inside him was more sadistic, fearsome, and evil. Aoki wanted no part of it. Despite how much he didn't like whatever the hell was inside him...his 'inner' was useful for one thing and one thing only.
Ass-kicking.
Aoki's vision went black as his 'inner' got unleashed. Both twins knew about it being there. Hikari was possessed by an evil spirit when she was 14, but its a whole other story in Aoki's case. Hikari has never spoken to Aoki's 'inner', but can tell the difference. Aoki's eyes are a brilliant ember color, but his inner's eyes are darker. Like a bronze color that promises agony when your eyes meet his. Now she is going to see what's been developing in her brother all these years, and witness his brutal actions firsthand.
Ember eyes and ember aura turned bronze, blackish straight hair became a spikier and grew to touch his neck, and that smirk got replaced by a foul scowl. The minions were confused by what happened but prepared to fight him. The founding Rauvian member held up his hand to stop him.
"Which one of you bastards hurt my sister?" a new deep and cruel voice spoke up.
"That would be me" The attacker said looking at him quite intrigued.
"Ao-" Hikari stopped herself. She knew that whatever was in front of her wasn't Aoki.
"That's one of the Resurrected Twelve!" Hikari said instead. Even though her brother's inner seems evil and foreign it was still defending her so its safe to say its on her side.
"Oh really?" The inner said looking at the man.
"Correct. I am Maxwell Declain"
"I've heard that name somewhere,but I don't care who you are or how strong your clan is. You shed my sister's blood..."
Hikari's eyes widened at that. 'The inner still thinks of me as a sister...?' she thought watching along with the minions in the room.
"And because of that I shall shed a pound of your flesh"
"Hm. If your so full of yourself then show me what you got"
The bronze-eyed inner and the Rauvians member lunged in each other and started fighting each other. They are moving in vampire speed,but you can still detect their movements. Hikari watched stunned at the display while the minions cheered on Maxwell.
'How can I define it? Whatever it is it still has Aoki's powers...' Hikari wondered. 'Do I call it Aoki's inner?... Do I call it an alter ego?'
Aoki's arm turned into thick vines with sharp edges punctured Maxwell's left leg brutally. The vines were strong enough to fracture his femur in one move. Several of jaws dropped at the display while Maxwell kicked his opponent away from him. No pain was seen on his expression, but you'll never know if he's masking or not. As the two jumped at each other and continued their fight Hikari thought of the perfect word to define what couldn't be defined earlier.
'Its not Aoki...probably still a vamp but if anything...its more of an entity.' Hikari concluded and stopped asking herself questions. The fight in front of her was far more important.
The entity received a powerful blow to the face and got pushed back. Maxwell charged at him with the already bloody machete in his hand. The entity dodged the swing, but still got cut on his shoulder. It ripped skin, and shed blood, but nothing he couldn't handle. The blade smacked the entity's cheek soon as he got up, causing him to stumble again. This only made the entity angrier. At first he wanted to inflict pain on the Rauvian as revenge for his injured sister. Now he wishes Maxwell was a cat so that he can kill him nine times.
"Fucking bastard..." the cruel voice spoke between Aoki's lips. His elemental tattoo and charm glowed in bronze. Soon enough, strong roots sprouted from the ground and through the floors until it reached the third floor. The minions that were watching jumped back at the sight of it. How can they not? The roots were strong enough to shatter concrete!
"SWAMP BIND!" the entity shouted. The roots tat grew from under the building ensnared Maxwell. After that the entity channeled all of the nature energy, which appeared in bronze, and it engulfed the Rauvian which caused a massive explosion. The minions that were closest to Maxwell got hit and died instantly and the rest of them were just knocked off their feet. Maxwell, however, has severe bruises on his skin. The entity knew that a Rauvian member wouldn't fall due to one explosion, however it did disorient him. That's was his goal.
Taking advantage of the situation the entity quickly knocked Maxwell off his feet, the machete leaving his hand in the process. The entity then held his left hand in the air and a bronze colored sphere appeared a few feet over his head. With this sphere he created strong branches, twisted them around to create a horn-like shape, them sent it down to attack Maxwell's head.
SPLAT!
Some of the minions fainted at the sight while others watched in horror. Hikari gasped at the gory sight of her attacker in front of her. Maxwell's skull has been punctured from the very top so blood squirted from his ears, mouth, nose, and eyes. Parts of the skull tore his skin open, creating a jagged texture on his messy face. The crown of his head completely flattened and as a result blood and brain mush leaked from the face. Maxwell Declain's body, overall, is limp and immobile. Blood sprayed all over Aoki's clothes but the entity didn't care. He ignored the shocked expressions he received and walked over to Hikari.
"That was...graphic" Hikari said stating the obvious. Truth be told she didn't know what to say exactly. She had a million questions and comments, but not enough time to say anything at all. Its only a matter of time before the minions snap out of their shock and start attacking again.
"...Are you scared?"
Hikari scoffed.
"Of course not. I'm just stunned...Thanks for that"
The entity stared at her, a bit shocked at her answer, but nodded anyway. He closed his eyes and exhaled. Bronze eyes turned into ember once more and blackish hair went back to the middle of his neck. Aoki opened his eyes once more and looked around to see Maxwell's body, the minions in shock, and his sister. Knowing it was really him Hikari threw her arms around him, but Aoki was too busy staring at Maxwell's head, what was left of it anyway, to hug back.
"D-Did I do that...?" Aoki asked.
"Well.. your body did" Hikari said.
"I lost control." Aoki said looking down.
"It wasn't necessarily bad." Hikari said cheering her twin up. "He did all that for me"
"Still what was that?"
"We'll find out together later. Right now we still have work to do"
Aoki smiled and used his powers to wrap a soft, yet durable leaf around Hikari. It was long enough to coil around her waist five times, and Aoki made sure it was aloe to help treat her wounds. Since Hikari is a vampire, the wound was already half-way healed. It still caused her some pain though. The older twin helped his younger one up on her two feet.
"How should we finish them off?" Aoki asked just in time since the minions found a new motivation to snap out of their shock and charge at them.
"Hm~ Oh we haven't summoned our armors in so long!"
"True!" The twins looked at each other and smirked, identically friendly ones this time.
"ELEMENTAL ARMOR FORM!"
Half the room filled in gold light while the other half was brilliant ember. Both colors similar,yet distinctive in the smallest ways. The minions covered their eyes due to the brightness, and the twins held hands.
"FORCES OF NATURE ARMOR!"
Aoki's clothes got replaced with a nature-themed suit of armor that included earthy colors. The armor boots and arm guards were a shiny copper color that has detailed branch designs engraved on them. The rest of the armor is an earthy, rich green color. Glowing ember energy served as a membrane that ran through out the whole breastplate, almost like the vein of a leaf. The Othil emblem l is printed proudly on the right side of the breastplate in black.
"GOLD STELLAR ARMOR!"
Hikari clothes got replaced with a gold breastplate that fits her like a corset, and it has the Othil emblem on the right side. The rest of the armor had gold elbow sleeved pauldrons with black zig-zag designs are on her arms, a metallic gold armor-like skirt that reached above her knees had somewhat revealing slits on both sides, and her legs were protected by mid-thigh black heeled armor greaves with gold knee guards. Her hair is now pure gold and pulled into a long ponytail with a long strand framing the right side of her face. As an accessory, a black and gold kanzashi stick was in the ponytail.
Hikari and Aoki held each others hands the whole time, but this time they were going to do a team attack. The two glowed in their respective colors and charged at the minions.
"FUSE:GOLDEN GOBBLERS!" the twins said in perfect unison, like usual.
Ember colored Venus fly traps sprouted from the ground and fired stellar beams from their mouths instead of chewing the minions alive. The blasts coming from the Venus fly traps made the attack stronger and the beams were much more massive. It didn't take long for all the minions to be defeated. Once it did the twins stopped their attack and high-fived each other.
"Kick-ass!" Aoki said.
"That was so cool!" Hikari said grinning.
"Whelp on to the next floor" Aoki said and offered his arm to his twin. "Shall we?"
"Let's!" Hikari said linking arms with him.
The Kinoshita twins skipped over the fresh cadavers, in a hopscotch fashion due to the amount of foes they had, and headed for the stairs.
That's All Folks!
