A jumble of words fell from Myrrh's mouth, as the large beam of light above the structure seemed to dance in circles, Sique's face glowed from the mass of light swirling around her, as she perched dangerously close to the blindingly shiny stand.
A thud sounded behind her, and Sique turned on her heel to see a familiar airship docked next to the Natsu, an even more familiar figure stepping out. She must have been dazed not to hear the ship approaching.
'' I thought you died...'' Vyse's voice was emmotionless, did he wish that she had? It was hard to tell.
'' No, turns out I didn't, thanks though, for leaving me in the boiling desert, an' all.'' Sarcasm flowed over Sique's voice as she watched Aika jump out of the airship and follow Vyse, she looked angrier and less calm than him.
'' How could you betray us!?''
Sique felt hurt, '' I..I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you...I just...he..''
'' ...you betrayed us for silvite scum...'' Vyse noted.
Tears welled into Sique's eyes, '' He's not. He didn't deserve to die. He has morals and he isn't heartless...and...I just had to avenge him...He cares..''
A third and final figure stepped from the airship, her white clothing reflecting the bright, glowing light. Her head was down. By now, Myrrh was glancing out of the corner of his eye at the intruders, but still chanting. He didn't know what would happen if he stopped now, but he didn't want to find out.
Cupil hovered by her head as Fina's voice tumbled, '' Don't do this, Sique...you don't know...don't understand...what do you think he will give you; love? He won't....''
A tear streamed down Sique's face, '' ...He's not evil! You just don't understand him! You're the one who doesn't understand!''
'' Stop being dense, Sique, if you don't stop whatever's happening; we'll make it stop.'' Aika pointed out, stepping infront of Vyse and Fina, her boomerang in attacking position.
Sique raised her left arm, the studded defence bracelet glimmering as lightning struck once more, '' You won't get past me.''
A sudden bright light behind Sique made her turn around to face the stand. Aika, Fina, Cupil and Vyse stared as the necklace hovered in mid air. The pendant was ripped from the silver chain (which vaulted over the side of the island). The crystal that was left slowly crushed into dust and fell to the floor. The beam of light seemed to shrink into a much more concentrated form at the top of the middle object, and leapt to swirl around the dust. The dust flew into the air as a very thin outline of a male figure emerged from it. The light swirled around him repeatedly, and Sique stared in awe as Ramirez began to materialise out of thin air.
Stupid. Sique was caught off guard and Aika's boomerang came crashing into the side of her skull. She fell to the floor with a sickening thud as a numbing feel of ice echoed around her head. She rolled out of the way just as Aika brought her boomerang back down into where she had previously been lying.
Sique leapt up and threw herself at Vyse, her shoulder ramming into him with incredible force and pushing him onto the floor completely. She poised her right hand above his face, ready to make the final blow and kill him. But she was outnumbered, and Cupil and Aika's boomerang simultaneously hit her on either side of her ribs. She fell onto Vyse, screaming in pain. Vyse pushed her off him roughly, leaving her to lie on her back helplessly.
Ramirez watched as he found himself helpless to defend Sique. It was like being paralysed; he could see what was happening around him, but he couldn't move. His brain screamed at the process to hurry up, as he watched Vyse's cutlass slice across Sique's exposed thigh. Blood streamed from her wound, and Ramirez's mind clouded with rage. Vyse had killed Lord Galcian, Vyse had killed him, and now, Vyse was killing Sique.
Myrrh watched in horror as the supposed mother of the young girl appeared infront of his eyes. What had he done? Why had he helped her? It was obvious to him now that Sique was the evil one. She had lied to him. He backed away from the scene, the terrified screams of Sique and the buzzing of the materialising Ramirez would always cover his soul. He got into The Natsu and flew away, vowing to never help anyone again.
Vyse, Aika, Fina and Cupil stood over Sique. For every heaving breath she took, Vyse's cutlass edge rubbed dangerously across her throat. Through his legs she looked to see the stand. The outline of Ramirez was stronger, and developing color. Her eyes met his, the two colors blotted out by the begging and adoring look in them. An emotion of pain swept over Sique. Not of physical pain, but a pain that came from Ramirez. A pain of seeing his sworn enemy slowly killing his last friend. The pain almost tore Sique to peices; but not quite. A strength washed over her, and she leapt forwards, blocking the cutlass blade with her very own blades on her weapon. She swivelled in mid-air, landing to face the three Blue Rogues.
'' Don't make us hurt you, Sique...'' Fina's eyes looked sad, '' Just step back. We won't harm you, just let us destroy Ramirez.''
Sique's dirtied face twisted into a smirk, and she shook her head. The need for air vastly swelling over her wish to speak. Vyse stepped forward, as the glow ebbed quickly, and then faded. In the time that it ebbed, Sique's face lit up. Above each of her bicolor eyes, it almost seemed as if red flashed, but then it was gone, as a silver light swept around Sique, jumping over her curves flatteringly. She threw her head back, and her hair fluttered crazily about her head. She raised her arms, and pink flames burnt in either of her palms; a silver outline rippling over them. She thrust her hands forward, and the flames jumped into each other as they neared Vyse and the others, swelling madly. Sique's face glowed red, a demonic look flashing over it, as a cruel, dark laughter echoed her expression. Ramirez was back.
