Chapter 21: All of my Life

Scarlet looked up at the chains holding his hands, "Dammit…how do I get out of these!? This is ridiculous!"

Sol turned to him, "Stop moving, okay? Those chains are really annoying!"

"Oh, yes," Scarlet spat, "let me stop moving my arms even though they're tired because you thought it was a great idea to chain me like this!"

Sol growled, "Shut up!"

Luna smiled, "Don't worry, Sol," he looked at Scarlet, "just leave him be. We need to show the others that we mean business."

"Of course…" Sol groaned and his brother grabbed his hand, "Come." Luna replied, "now, if the brat moves at all, he better know that we have Dadacha out."

"Whatever." Scarlet sighed and watched as the VEPPer teleported away. He waited in silence for a few minutes as he thought of what to do next.

He bit his lip as he slowly made his love stick appear, "I have to break free! I need to get out of here..!" He looked around, "They could be back at any time."

-
Sol smirked as he walked with his brother, "I love how they think they can win."

"I know." Luna replied and looked at the Battle Lovers as they appeared in front of them.

"You!" Vesta spat, "Give us back Yumoto!"

"Why?" Sol smirked, "We've won this time."

"Do you like how our rooms are?"

Wombat growled, "Why have you two teamed up with demons?!"

"Why not!" Luna laughed, "More power for all of us. We wanted to include the current God of Love but…we were told not to."

Epinard sighed, "Listen, just give us back the heir and we'll leave you both alone!"

"NO!"

"You five don't get it do you?" Sol spat, "We're doing this for reasons!"

"Haru, calm down."

"I am calm!"

"Anyways," Luna turned to the group, "We're going back now! Have fun!"

"Come back here!" Cerulean yelled as they grabbed one another's hand. "Cerulean Love Aqua!"

As he did so, they teleported away.

"What a pain…"

Scarlet gasped as he heard laughing, "Already?! They were only gone for five minutes!"

"Great job, Aki." Sol spoke, "We need to hurry and get rid of the brat!"

"I know," Luna replied as he walked in with his brother. Right as he did, Scarlet made his love stick disappear. He froze as he saw the Battle Lover, "Well…" He growled, "You tried to break free…"

Scarlet gasped, "I…I didn't!" He looked at the twins, "Listen…if you just let me go, I'll never tell anyone who you are!"

"Too bad."

"What did you even do to my friends?!"

"Nothing! Now shut up!" Sol screamed, "I'm sick of hearing you talk!"

"Haru, Haru." Luna grabbed his hand, "Enough, calm down."

"Fine." Sol spat, "Whatever."

-
Epinard looked down, "Every time we walk, the area changes…"

"We'll never get to Yumoto now." Vesta groaned, "This is fucking bullshit."

"Language!" Epinard hissed, "You curse more when you're annoyed."

"Whatever." Vesta replied and looked down, "Araki, what should we do?"

"I'm not sure…" The silver haired boy replied, "Even after those two came back to taunt us…"

Wombat sighed, "We have to figure out what to do!"

"We need the Caerula Adamas…" Cerulean groaned, "Since Aurite is the God of Wisdom, he'd be able to see through this."

"If he were here," Vesta muttered, "he'd be yelling at us."

"How do you know?" Sulfur asked and Vesta sighed, "I just know. Even if Perlite were here…" He groaned as he muttered, "Dumb God thinks he's the God of Beauty."

"If he heard you say that, he'd probably punch you."

"Whatever!" Vesta sighed, "I just want to go home."

"Think about Yumoto," Epinard replied, "He probably wants to go home too."

Vesta shook his head, "I'm exhausted, all of this fighting…"

"I know." Cerulean replied, "We're all tired of it. Hireashi was supposed to be the last thing to fight."

"They did it on purpose." Sulfur sighed, "They knew we'd get rid of him, but we didn't know about their backup plan."

"Just watch," Cerulean groaned, "They'll have us heal the twins fast and then the other demons will run and we'll go and get them."

The other four nodded simultaneously, they weren't doubting that.

"Kinshiro!" Argent called, "Akoya spotted them!"

"Where are they?!" Aurite called back, "We must get rid of them!"

Perlite pointed downwards into a cave, "In there!"

"Are we sure it is even them?" Aurite questioned, "There is no way this should be so easy…"

Argent frowned, "It's the only lead we have, we must get rid of them before they harm the heir."

"But," Aurite sighed, "is it even worth it? What if we are being tricked?"

Perlite hummed, "I'm not sure…"

"Look in time." Aurite demanded but Perlite frowned, "You always tell me, destiny is destiny, president…"

"I know…" He frowned, "But this time, we have to make sure!"

The God of Time closed his eyes slowly and his face twisted up slightly. He gasped as his eyes shot open, "We've been lied too…we've been chasing two demons."

"So, we might as well get rid of them…" Aurite replied and Perlite nodded, "Yes."

Argent growled as he pulled his sword out, "Let's get them!"

"Prepare yourselves!" Aurite yelled, "We have no idea who we're messing with."

"Of course." Perlite winked, "We can stop them!"

Then, they ran into the cave. "Show yourself!" Aurite declared, "We're dying to meet you!"

As he spoke, the fake VEPPer appeared in front of them, "Cut the act!" Perlite growled, "We know that you're not them."

"Awww~" They smirked and Argent pointed his sword at them, "It's your turn." He growled, "We've done our part…Sephbor."

"IT'S YUUMA!"

"So," Aurite growled, "You came back."

"Only for Master Hireashi!" The demon spat as he appeared, his white hair in a low ponytail and his red eyes glaring at the Gods. "Listen, I just was to lead you away from the heir."

"Why?" Perlite growled and Yuuma smirked, "Easy, they have the heir now and will kill him."

"I knew it…" Aurite muttered, "Yuuma, you really don't like the twins."

"Of course not!"

"So," Perlite replied, "you'll leave?"

"Oh~" The demon smirked, "I will, but my own little creation will fight you."

"W-what?"

"Come out! Destroy them!" Yuuma cackled as he jumped up, "Bye bye~"

"Dammit…!" Perlite gasped as the monster appeared and Yuuma left. "Yuuma was a diversion…"

"Yes…" Aurite replied, "We must get rid of this monster now! The heir is in danger!"

Argent nodded as he shot his chains out at it, "If I can chain it up…!" He grunted, "We can get rid of it!"

"Don't worry!" Perlite called and jumped up, "I got it!" He shot a stream of pearls out of his sword at the monster, "Hey! Look at me!"

Argent smiled as the monster looked up at the pink haired God, he then snapped his fingers as chains shot up from the ground.

"Now Aurite!"

Aurite nodded and made his blade appear as the chains surrounded the monster.

Argent gasped as the monster fought against the chains. "Hurry! It's trying to break free!"

Aurite shot a quickly beam from his sword, "Now, Argent!"

Argent nodded as he shot a silver beam from his, "Akoya!"

"Of course!" Perlite smirked and shot a bright pink beam from his.

The monster screamed as it was attacked. Aurite growled, "Goodbye…maybe next time you shouldn't mess with us! The Caerula Adamas!"

Argent gasped as the monster disappeared and he looked up, "We need to get back to Binan now!"

Perlite nodded, "Yes…who knows what's happening now!"

"Dadacha…they found out…" Zundar spoke and Dadacha frowned. "W-well…the….the VEPPer have the heir. You…we can take him now and kill him!"

"Now, now." Zundar replied, "Not yet…let all of them come and watch their heir die…"

Both demons turned as they heard a scream come from Scarlet. "Perfect~" Dadacha giggled, "Everything is perfect."
