"Adken Island," Jet began as the group stepped on a small island in the middle of the seas of sands. "The Ruins of Twins is just ahead of us."

Clive pointed out some nearby statues. "That's odd."

"What is?" Virginia replies.

"It's just...When I look to the statue on the left I see the same man that is portrayed in the right one. But...if you notice, this one is dressed in armor, while the other seems a plain ordinary man." Clive examined the two statues that were on each side of the beginning of the now fading stone path that led into the ruins. There's two entrances as odd as that was as well. "I have this bad feeling about this."

"Do you think...Nobuo is here already?" Emilia questioned as she looked around for any sign of the man or her mother, or even worse, another who is under him like Isamu or Blaze.

"Do we even know what to expect in there?" Gallows wondered. He looked to Jet and Clive who currently seemed to be their only source of information on the place. Two puzzled shrugs. He felt bad about this now too.

"If we think in terms of what the Twilight Gemini is capable of, we should examine the others." Clive brought up that notion. "Twilight Sun showed what were relatively a sort of dream world to us. Something that was positive and that we wished to see. Twilight Moon meanwhile showed us what could be seen as nightmares. Things that we did not want to see. Obviously, to get out from those mind states we had to think opposite of the particular Element. We had to want Twilight Moon to get out of Twilight Sun, and visa versa."

"What is a 'Gemini' though?" Virginia questioned. "It...can't be the same as the other two...could it?"

"If you mean...that this one will hold power our emotions I have no idea." Clive replied.

"To answer your other question," Emilia began. "Gemini literally means twin."

"Twin?"

"Yes."

"Twin?" Another asked.

"Correct."

"So...what does-"Jet stops Gallows.

"Let's just go the Hell in there and find out rather than keep up this boring discussion." Jet began to traverse the path between the start and the ruins. As he comes to the end however and enters the ruins on the right entrance he finds himself on the dirt lying on his back. "Uh...What-"

Clive knocks on the entrance to the right. Hard like rock. "It's a mirror image." Clive concludes. The rest go on into the left path leaving Jet behind.

"Hey! Hold up." Jet scurries to get behind the rest. They had not gone far. They sort of marveled at how they could see the same path next to them mirrored, but they were not there.

"Doesn't...this defy the laws of science...Clive?" Gallows mumbled not daring to move his lips all the way to talk.

"Uh...Let's just keep moving." Clive kept going until they all came to a large room in the mirrored catacombs. "It should be right through those doors." Just as they begin to cross the room there is a noticeable shake. A quake rather. The two walls were coming at them at a steady pace. Cliev being ahead already was safe, but Jet grabbed Virginia who was nearest him, and Emilia snatched Gallows as the two of them being the fastest lunged for safety.

"You're rather late, you fools." Carole announced as they all sat up and gathered their breaths. "I gave you warning. Why didn't you bother to get here sooner? Now he has it."

"We can still stop him!" Virginia boldly declares. "Let's go!"

Carole holds her arms out in a 'T' form. "No one shall get past me." She warns. "I will fight you if I must...even...those I'm bonded to." Her eyes linger with Emilia's own.

Jet stands down. "I...I don't think I feel right fighting a woman...let alone a mother."

"I'm ready to fight at my best. Woman or not I will ultimately defeat you." Carole retorts.

Gallows shakes his head. "I'm not getting involved in this."

"I wear glasses." Clive pointed out.

Emilia glares. That was no defense! She got ready to lift her blade, but her hand would not move. She decided to pass the blade and use her ARM. Still, her other hand failed to act. Was she actually afraid to fight her mother? "I...I can't,"

Carole moves in a slight blur kicking Jet right in the jaw and sending the young man to the floor in shock. It was rather unexpected. In a spin a kick is thrown at Gallows when she stops sending the priest into the mirror wall. Before Carole moved on to Clive who was next in line Virginia had blocked the attack. "So...someone will actually fight back?"

"I...will not let you do this. I'm not going to keel over for you." Virginia warned the mother.

"I just hope you can fight well in a dress." Carole smirked before shoving Virginia aside. Virginia returns with a chop to Carole's left inner elbow. Carole responds with a kick to the chest sending Virginia to the wall. Rebounding off said wall Virginia comes back with a headbutt. Her ARMs were stuck on her belt. It was embarrassing to try so she did not bother now. By now Jet and Gallows had sat up and were watching intently. Gallows mentioned the words 'Cat-fight' and it was all downhill from there. Carole grabs the extended arm of Virginia who missed with a punch and flips the brunette onto the hard ground. Virginia gains her breath and stands grabbing onto Carole's cloak and as she stands tall the cloak is ripped and the piece is removed from Carole's front. Luckily she wore a camisole under the cloak. "How dare you?" Carole replied in outrage. She ruined her clothing! No one should do that to a woman who loves her clothes, and...that's pretty much every woman out there aside from a few. Even some men.

Carole replies by ripping the sleeve off from Virginia's dress. Her beautiful new dress she bought after they raided the mansion and got some gella. This was her defining aspect of beauty these days. She was starting to think Jet liked it too. Without the left sleeve of her dress her eye twitched. "Is that how it is?"

She took off another piece of Carole's cloak. Carole takes the other sleeve. Virginia takes out the collar of Carole's camisole. Carole rips off the front to Virginia's dress. The brunette was thankful she had worn a bra today. Still, she stood in embarrassment. Emilia jumped in. "Stop this!" It was quiet. "You're just starting to give the guys a free peep-show."

"No...they weren't." Gallows said as he slinked his way in. "No, let them continue and possibly throw in some mu...I mean, of course they should stop fighting! It's indecent." He whimpered away from the female's glares.

"I'm sorry...it was a beautiful dress. I saw one like it in Cape Aznable. You should go there for replacement or repair." Carole began with hung head.

"I am as well. Your assemble was great...Wait, what are we doing?" Virginia clenched her hand to a fist. "Weren't we just fighting?"

"Right...but that's over now." Carole replied with a grin.

"What do you mean?"

"Hic et ubique!" Carole declared as the room was overtaken by a bright light. Jet groaned in the background.

"Not this again."

Oh, cliffhanger!

Sorry, I wanted to write more, but I got caught up in developing a brand-spankin' new NDS adventure that maybe I will eventually make into a WA 3 fanfic as well. If not, I will just use the bad guys because I went all out with the enemies in this one. They all have a great story to them and cool tricks so I want to use them badly. I'm going to call it Malebolge, for no particular reason, just because. It has nothing to do with 'the Inferno'. I even forget what Malebolge was in that book. A ring in Hell? I never cared enough.

Anyway, maybe I'll talk more about the story that gave me a cramp in my drawing hand (right hand) due to all of the new character designs I was drawing. Also, the story that prevented me from elaborating on the Twilight Gemini arc.
