Everything is falling into place, the carefully laid plans and the components were coming into play. Now it was a matter of waiting for an opening while everything is in the stages of being finalized.
The two highest ranked members stood before the monitors and holograms, soon they will rule the entire world. But first they must deal with their home turf, Neogeoville.
Gemini looked over the new suit, the suit itself is strange, the first layer was kind of like the old models only it felt stranger. The second was a little looser but still manage to keep still, the shell covered her upper torso and her legs with two wings on the back (if you're curious they were like a jet's only sender and angle downward.)
On the first try she was suppose to use the suit to fly around a track a few times, while it was fun there was something off about the suit. The second try reveal there was a few adjustments to be made, on the final try she felt it was nailed on the head.
Princess was so happy, she felt like she wasn't a total failure after all. But there was still something wrong, it was her other daughter.
Alex wouldn't even return her messages, and Gemini wanted to know why.
That's why she had snuck out the same night she called, to this place. The place where Alex normally would disappeared to when things got to hard for her, the old remains of the hall of records.
It was on the roof where the two twins met. To the north was Gemini and to the south was Alexandria.
"Hey sis," Alex said. "What 'cha called for?"
"Mom is a little down," Gemini said. "She wanted to see you in your suit, she worked so hard on it. I wonder, is because you don't believe in the whole hero thing?"
"What... Do you mean?" Alex wasn't liking where this was going.
"Recently you have been fading us out, not just me and mom but your mother too! What is going on?" Gemini said.
"Damn it," Alex growled. "That's too personal, I have my reasons."
Gemini walked over to her sister, while Gemini has Princess' looks she kind of has Buttercup's attitude and a little of her personality. This is a factor because it was a solid punch to Alex's jaw.
"At the moment mom is crying, she try not to show it but when I looked in she was in tears and you won't tell me what the hell is going on," Gemini reach down than grasp Alex by the neck. "So tell me what the hell is wrong."
"Let go!" Alex shouted before she lifted up a foot than brought it down in Gemini's face, "you have no right to know what how I feel." She yelp while Gemini grabbed her foot, twisting her upper torso and threw Alex down onto the roof hard.
Gemini followed up with a straight punch to the face and a kick to the stomach, she avoided a swing from her sister than perform a uppercut and reached out to grab hair to slam her head into the solid roofing. Afterwards both were bloodied and breathing hard.
"You f-fu," Alex spat out with a little amount of blood. "If you want to know, well let me tell you to go screw yourself." A kick aimed at her nose sent her rocketing back into the roof and straight down a floor.
Gemini came down, she stood there with her arms crossed. "What is your problem?"
"What's your's?" Alex snapped. "If you need to know, I hate the way I was born; so unnatural."
"What?"
"Two mothers is not right, two father is not right," Alex snapped as she stood up. "It's a man and a woman, we're freaks that shouldn't exist."
"You are insane," Gemini said as she felt sick. "I am going to rearrange you freaking face, racist brat! Our mothers loved each other, enough to birth us. It doesn't matter what gender they are they love each other and us."
"It's not right," Alex snarled. "They shouldn't look at each that way, I should be father by a real man." She earned herself a punch to the face before being driven a floor down head first.
"How can you be so hateful?" Gemini snapped. "We have parents, they love us damn it!"
"We're have nothing!" Alex shouted up as she weakly stood up. "We have no souls."
"I know you don't," Gemini said as she came down. "You have no friends, no activities and no interest; you truly have no soul."
"God doesn't give us souls as our birthers are empty," Alex gained the hardest attack she ever received in her life, a wall of energy knocked her off her feet and sent to the wall.
"You little bitch," Gemini said. "Don't pull that god crap, if it's not allowed than why does it happen? Love is love, and insanity is insanity."
"You..." Alex coughed up some blood, "we are not sisters, never were. Says so in the bible, the holy bible!"
"That is nothing but fictional stories to me, but while they can be used to make some people a better person others corrupt it, like you!" On the last words Gemini force Alex down another floor with her foot. "You give all religion a bad name."
"You and the rest..." Alex weakly rose from the rubble. "Of this damned race will not get into heaven unless you exile your kind."
Gemini was silent for a moment, religion has never been a big factor in her life; live it like you want was something she live by. But as she watch her battered sister use to wall for support something in her began to move, snap even. "If all there is people like you heaven must be a cold and lonely place."
"At least we'll be near the creator," Alex chuckled. "In a place with no suffering and eternal happiness."
"Pain makes us human," Gemini said as she turned away. "Time of trails gives us soul and our choices form our own paths."
Gemini turn away and walked away, Alexandria's insane ranting about heaven and hell were lost by each step. Soon the voice was gone, and so was her sister. The place she went to was Buttercup's house, which surprised the raven haired girl. What surprised her more is when Gemini ran forward and hugged her tightly and began to cry and say she's sorry she doesn't talk much anymore.
It was later on that Alex came home, she was going to tell her mother what her sister had done but the cold stare had said something else.
"What's wrong?" Alexandria said. She was trying to be innocent in this.
"I never raised you to be that way," Buttercup said. "How the hell did you became such a zealot?"
"It's not what I said," Alexandria shouted upsetly. "She lied, I never said any of the likes."
"I'm in no mood to hear your crap," Buttercup said darkly. "Go upstairs and wash up, I'll talk to you in the morning."
"You will never get into heaven with her, not even into hell."
The unexpected happened, Buttercup loves her daughter, she would never raise a hand unless it was very, very last resort; even for this outburst, but she has her limits. It was a simple slap but it hurt worse than the fight with Gemini.
She reach up to gently touch her cheek, tears formed in her eyes. She ran upstairs and slam the door hard.
Buttercup walk into the living room, sitting down and ran her hands through her hair. Gemini was stun at the display, even after the fight.
"I better go up and talk to her," Gemini said as she stood up but sat down while Buttercup shook her head.
"Damn it," Buttercup said. "I shouldn't let my temper get to me like that, but I'm at the end of my rope with this. I just don't know how to stop it."
"What's wrong?"
Buttercup took in a deep breath and let it out, "where do I begin, the fact this whole sin stuff is a off shot of kids picking on her for having two mommies? Or she's with drawing from the world?"
The room was silent for a moment, Buttercup got up and went to check on Alex. A moment later she came back down. "Poor Alexandria, you should be so hard on her," Buttercup said as she sat down. "I hate this crap, those damn bullies and the mass media put that idea in her head. She comes home alright but once in a while we fight and she starts to cry, I wish I can help her but she won't talk to me anymore."
"Have you talk to a counselor?"
"Bah, that ass said he can't tell me because of some doctor/client law or something. He doesn't listen to anyone anyway." Buttercup let a few tears roll down her check, "she doesn't eat much, doesn't have friends and the only activity she has is spending time with you and kyodo classes."
"Kyodo?" Gemini asked.
"A form of martial arts that is based around the bow and arrow, it's the only thing that seems to allow her true self through. She spends time with you because you are her sister, but I notice she hasn't been so open around you lately as she use to."
Gemini lean over and rubbed her mother's back, she was once angered by her sister's choice of words. But now she wonders if it was just a ruse.
Before she went home she went up to check on the girl, she was sleeping with her face in the pillow. A ping of guilt went through her, she did feel she went to far.
Akumaru had walked through the doors, even though the members wanted to charge him they got a glimpse into his eyes, to his very soul and back down.
Jack follow closely like a lost puppy but manage to look quite fearsome.
Akumaru had sense the power of the leader, which lead him to a room that was secret from the others except for the commander. There stood the raven haired girl with blue eyes and a "X" scar, she was standing to next to the last person he ever expect to take over the Hakke.
"Nice to see you are alive," she said as she bowed. "I guess you would want command back?"
"You're just handing it over after all this work you put into this?" Akumaru asked, "no fights, hissy fits or long speeches?"
"Nope," she said. "Because I was just a place holder, remember?"
"Kind of," Akumaru said. "No, not really.
"Well," Deedee said as she straighten herself out. "What is your first order?"
Akumaru looked around, Jack was admiring some equipment and he turn to the woman. "Usagiko, prepare a few rooms for us and inform me of what's going on."
