[X] Perspective Change
-[X] Two fights Five

The blue-haired woman brought her sword down, shattering the rooftop next to Five and forcing her sister to jump away to avoid falling into the collapsing building. The woman in blue pushed forward, pressuring Five down to ground level where the rest of the force had gathered.

Five laughed as she spun her spear around her, before apparently obliging Two's obvious intent and falling from the rooftop. Two followed her down, landing on the ground next to her sister.

"You could have hit me there, easily." Five noted, with a laugh. "What's wrong, sister? Can't bring yourself to strike me?"

Five's spear shot forward, forcing Two to deflect it, causing the spear to barely ruffle her hair.

Behind her, she heard the clashing of blades, as Professor Port blocked two wire blades, one wielded by Velvet and the other by Coco. Where the big gun had gone, Two didn't know. It had stopped firing a bit after Yang ran away, and Coco had been swearing a bit around that time.

The guy who looked like Santa shaved his beard and turned it into a moustache pushed back his two students, holding them at bay without going on the offensive.

There was only three people on each side here, and Port was dealing with two of Five's people, which meant-

Cent slid into view behind Five and stabbed at her, his blade bouncing off Five's back as he struck suddenly. Five twirled her spear to hit behind her, and Two stepped forward, trying to disarm her.

"Please, Five." Two asked. "Just stop. We can-"

"But I don't want to stop." Five replied. "I'm having so much fun!"

"Five!" Two exclaimed. "People are getting hurt by this! Why can't-"

"Nobody would have been hurt if people just let me have my way." Five interrupted, pushing Cent back and going on the offensive. Two twisted her claymore sword around to push away Five's lazy jabs. "Melanie would still be with her sister if your yellow friend didn't try to look into me, Roman wouldn't be hospitalised if he didn't betray me-"

"What about Ruby?" Two asked, as she batted away Five's spear and stabbed forward, as Cent did the same from behind Five. Five ducked under the two swords, and Kicked Cent in the stomach with enough force to send him through a wall. Several more crashing sounds echoed as Cent kept going through walls.

"What about Ruby?" Five asked. "She's adorable! Have you seen her? She's got the most beautiful eyes-"

"That doesn't justify kidnapping!" Two objected, watching as Five deflected another sword strike and took the chance to punch Five in the chest, knocking her back. "That's, like, a really bad thing! People can't take people away without permission!"

"She should give permission soon enough." Five chuckled. "She's still resisting for now, but Dito stayed behind to break her down. If I tell her about how the people here to save her suffered because she kept resisting, she might just break down to avoid a repeat."

"It doesn't count if you have to use your song to force them to give permission!" Two objected.

Five hit Two with the end of her spear, knocking her away, and turned to the battle between Port, Velvet and Coco.

"Coco, dear, is there anything wrong with influencing people to follow you of their own free will?"

"That's how it works, Five!" Coco called, as she tried to punch the Professor.

"Good girl." Five praised. Coco gave a pleased smile, before Port grabbed her arm and held her between him and Velvet.

"That doesn't make it true!" Two objected.

"Yes it does!" Coco shouted.

"I think you're outnumbered here." Five continued.

"Stop that!" Two scolded. "You're misbehaving, little sister. One's not here, so I'll have to be the responsible one."

"Oh yes." Five continued, a sudden bitterness in her voice. "You don't have a choice, do you? You'd just love to not put in effort with your sisters, would you?"

Two frowned. "Five, what are you-"

"Did you even look for us?" Five asked, stabbing forward and striking into Two's chest. "It wasn't like I was hiding."

"Five, what are you-"

A sudden musical note rang out, and Five vanished. Two turned around just in time to see the spear coming at her, striking upwards into her chin and sending her flying.

Two sang out herself, and the world seemed to slow down. She watched as Five leapt above her, preparing to stab her downwards into another building, and Five blocked the spear's tip. The force behind the blow pushed her downwards, and Two crashed through the roof and top two floors before she caught her footing.

Feeling the rushing wind, Two held her sword behind her and felt it clash with her sister's spear.

"Do you know how long it took me to find you?" Five asked, whispering in Two's ear. "How many days it was before I heard about your little orphanage? Here's a hint, it's in your big sister's name."

Two spun around to look at Five, as the yellow-haired intoner struck Two's hand with the butt of her spear, knocking her claymore out of Two's hand.

"I was so happy." Five noted. "I watched you for days. I waited for a week, for when you'd notice me or find me. But I guess that little orphanage of yours was more important than finding the little sisters who relied on you, wasn't it?"

Two's heart plummeted. "Five, I didn't-"

"No, you didn't." Five dismissed, stabbing at Two's stomach as the spear bounced off her Aura.

Two looked at her sister, her breath tightening. Five was angry at her. And... Five had a good reason. She'd been near her sister for how long, and only found out when Yang told her? She hadn't noticed. She hadn't looked. She was too busy trying to help the children, trying to help every time Carmine recoiled from an open flame or trying to make sure Nightingale was happy enough that her Undine didn't go on a rampage trying to take her away.

She couldn't leave the kids be, but she focused too much on them and then she and Cent would relax at night because Cent thought she was overworked, but she should have done more, she was one of her oldest sisters, only Zero and One were older, and Two should have been looking for her younger sisters, that was her job, older sisters had to look out for the younger sisters and help them and make sure they know to do the right thing-

Oh.

Was that why Five was acting like she was? She was the youngest, and always needed a stern hand to know when to be responsible even when One was there. Was Five acting out and doing all these bad things because she didn't have her role models to follow?

Could Two have stopped all of this if she just knew about Five earlier?

"I think you're being unfair here." A voice spoke up, and Two looked behind Five, to watch Cent climb through a hole in the wall.

"You-" Five began, but Cent raised a finger, put a hand on his knee, and panted from exhaustion for a moment.

"Just hold on... Hit a lot of walls..." He managed to wheeze out. "Had to run to get here..."

Taking a deep breath, Cent wiped his forehead, and looked at Five.

"Where was I?" He asked, suddenly sounding in tip-top shape. "Oh right, you're being a bit unfair to Two, didn't you?"

"Who are you to judge?" Five asked. "Even if you are handsome, this is family business-"

"Two's the most wonderful person I've ever met." Cent interrupted. "She's caring, she's kind, she always tries her best. She's willing to put up with me being an idiot and even if she isn't the smartest, she knows that, and tries her best anyway."

Two looked at Cent, surprised by his words. Cent's sung her praise before, but he always had that tone about him, the semi-joking voice that he used to tease Two and embarrass her. This, on the other hand...

"So she didn't find you." Cent continued. "And? You found her, and chose to wait. You knew she was looking after all those orphans. Right out of a warzone, traumatised as hell, people who needed her. And you're mad because she didn't drop everything to look for someone who was fine without her? That's rather selfish of you."

Five looked at Cent, her back to Two, and after a moment, she laughed.

"I'm sorry, where you saying something?" Five asked. "I was too busy measuring your shoes. You know what they say-"

She sang, leaping forward and holding her spear over Cent's heart.

"-Those with big feet need to learn to shut up."

Eyes wide, Two sprang forward and barged into Five, knocking her away from Five and shoulder charging her through the wall of the building. Five flew out of it, crashing out of the wall and into the wall of another building. The building shuddered as Five continued being thrust through them.

Two watched after the hole Five had disappeared into for a moment, before she felt her eyes tear up and she collapsed to her knees.

"Two!" Cent called, grabbing her shoulders. "What's wrong?"

"I'm a terrible sister..." She whimpered.

"No, no you're not." Cent interrupted. "You're a wonderful person, Two. You love everyone so much, you always try your best, and you blame yourself for things you couldn't help. If you were a terrible sister, you wouldn't be feeling terrible right now."

"But-"

"Don't you even dare blame yourself for what Five's been doing." Cent insisted. "Yang's uncle came to tell her Ruby was kidnapped before the airship even landed. Even if you had known about Five, she'd already been doing bad things long before you were around. I don't care if she blames you, do you think she'd stop just because you were here? Did you think she'd even let you know what she was doing?"

"But-"

Cent put a finger on Two's lips, as he pulled her to her feet. "Don't. You're not the bad guy here, Two. You didn't do anything wrong. You're here to stop Five now and help Yang save her sister, right?"

Two nodded, as Cent wiped a tear from her eye.

"Don't think right from wrong right now." Cent said, as he picked up her sword and gave it back to her. "Don't let what Five's saying throw you off. Just do what you came to do, and worry about it later. Don't let Five talk you out of doing what you have to do."

Two sniffled, but nodded again. "Y-You're right..."

"Of course I am." Cent replied. "I'm me, remember? I'm always right. That's why I'm right handed."

Smiling at the statement, Two wiped a hand over her eyes before taking her claymore back.

Five suddenly let out a large, musical screech, and a golden light flowed out from her for a moment. The light faded after a brief burst, and the song echoed through the city for a moment.

"What was that?" Cent asked.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Two said, as Five pulled herself out of the building she had been thrown into, walking out through the wall on the bottom floor and looking up to where Two and Cent were at.

"Let's finish this quickly." Cent advised. "You can apologise to Five after everyone's safe, right?"

"You're right, Cent." Two nodded. "Let's go."

Letting her melody out with a blue light, the blue-haired Intoner left the building she was in, punching downwards as she hit the ground and cratering the ground as she hit it. Five's melody joined hers, and a golden light burnt off her.

The Song flowed through Two and the air around her. She felt strong. Stronger than she had in a while. But she needed to resolve this already. She needed to push herself further.

Throwing her sword into the air, Two scrapped her arm across it as it fell, allowing it to bypass her Aura and drawing blood. With a second gesture, Two caught her sword as it fell and scattered the blood all across her body.

It wasn't enough for long, but it would do.

Her song grew louder, the Song flowing through her more and more, as the Intoner let her true strength emerge. The blue light clung to her, and she glowed with power as she charged at Five.

Her arm wrapped around Five as Two grabbed her, throwing her away and through several buildings. Five recovered after the fifth one she was thrown through, but Two was faster, stronger, and before her feet could touch the ground properly, Two had thrown her spear away and piledrived her sister into the ground.

Five got to her feet, only for Two to bring down her sword on her sister, knocking her down, damaging her Aura, and Five's song quickly shifted to form a barrier to knock Two away. Two pressed a button on her sword and let the claymore's blade fall off and shift as she held the hilt, while the barrier knocked Two into a wall. Two headbutted the wall, and shattered it, and another barrier appeared to keep pushing her back.

As the wall behind her collapsed, Two felt the last of the blood evaporate away from her, leaving her unstained and causing the Song flowing through her to weaken. The cut in her arm had healed, and Five chuckled.

"Is that..." She coughed. "All?"

Two pressed the button on her sword hilt, and her claymore exploded, the mine throwing shrapnel everyone and devastating Five's Aura. Five was thrown back, her song cut off and her golden glow extinguished, and Two stepped up and walked to her.

"You can't take much more of this, Five." Two said. "Please. Just stop. We don't have to fight any more."

Five chuckled. "Why would I stop now?"

Five set off into a run, jumping above Two and barging through the wall above her.

Hearing Five's footsteps echo above her, Two turned and ran after her, singing as she heard Five start to keep pace. Sister chased sister for a moment, bursting through building after building, until Five cried out. Jumping up to the floor she was on, Two saw Cent on the attack. Five deflected Cent's sword with her bare hands, but she was clearly at a disadvantage without her spear.

Two rushed behind Five, wrapping her arms around and trapping his sister in place.

"It's over." Two said." Just stop."

Five let out another musical screech, but Cent stabbed, taking Five's Aura to breaking point before she stopped.

"What were you even trying there?" Cent asked. "I know Two, I know how some of this Intoner stuff works, but I didn't sense much in your song other than you trying to be loud-"

There was a sudden sound of flesh striking flesh, and Cent doubled over in pain, as some sort of kid ripped the sword from his grasp.

"Dito-" Five said, and the kid stabbed forward, barely missing Five as he struck at Two. Two let her sister go, rushing to Cent's side as he regained his footing, and stared at the kid.

The boy, Dito, was panting in exhaustion. His shirt was cut, and blood flowing from under the cut, while the bloody patches revealed cuts along his arms and face. His face was slightly burnt on the left side, and he gave Two and Cent a look of frustration.

"I've been having a bad day..." The kid panted, wiping some blood away from his eyes. "Did you have to call for me, Five? I could've beaten that little brat if I had some time to find a spare weapon somewhere..."

"Shush, Dito." Five aid, approaching him from behind and whispering in his eyes. "This has been harder then I thought, so it's time."

A sudden fear filled Two. "No, don't-"

Five wiped her arm across the blood on Dito, then sang louder, glowing gold as she picked Dito up and ran backwards. Running after him, Cent right behind her, Two looked up to see the two standing on a rooftop as Five stopped glowing. Then her melody intensified further, and the golden shockwave forced Cent back a step.

"Behold the Fifth Song!" Declared Dito, as he spread his arms either side. "Grand Light of Antiquity!"

"No!" Two screamed. "Cent, we have to stop them!"

Cent stepped forward, before Five's song pushed him back. "Go!" He shouted.

"The great power made manifest..." Dito continued. "The ceremony of glorious arrival..."

Two ran, forcing herself through the shockwave as she exited the building she was in and rapidly approached the one Five was on top of. She tried to jump to them, but the shockwave forced her right back down again.

"Burn thine eyes on the punishing lance of divine retribution!" The Disciple continued, roaring.

If One was here, she'd be able to stop Five. She was stronger, smarter, more powerful, this shockwave would be nothing to her. Pushing off the ground as hard as she could, Two sprinted up the side of the building, until the force of her foot caused the wall to collapse, resulting in her ending up inside the building.

"I, Dito, summon thee in my name..."

Singing her song at the top of her lungs to block the shockwave, Two jumped, ignoring the pain of severeal floors being smashed into her head and the shockwave trying to push her back.

"Phanuel-"

Two pushed through the last floor and through the roof, just as her ascent slowed and she began to fall. At the pinnacle of her rise, she grabbed Dito's leg.

She didn't want to do this. She didn't want to hurt him. But if she let Five and her Disciple summon her angel, then all the non-Intoners, the Professor and Coco and Velvet and Yang and everyone would be in danger.

"-Arise!"

Two slammed downwards, throwing Dito into the floor hard enough to shatter it and send him down to the next floor. A great golden light pierced the night, and a shadow quickly blocked most of it out, as Dito's body stopped moving. Blood pooled underneath him, a Two landed on the ground next to him.

Five landed a moment later, grabbing Two and throwing her out the building. For a moment, Two flew through the air. Then, she hit something hard, which knocked the air out of her.

She hit the ground a moment later, took a moment to regain her footing, and looked up.

It was like a giant black crab, with glowing golden marks covering it. It lacked the usual big meaty claws, instead having two large pincers attached to a tail flap. The tail pointed at Two, firing off a steam of water with enough force that she was thrown backwards, the building collapsing on top of her as the jet fired through. Two gritted her teeth, and started singing, forcing the rubble away as she stood, staring off against the Angel that Five had called down.

...This was bad.

Out of the corner of her eye, Two saw Five flying the scene, carrying her Disciple even as the glow of her song enveloped his skull.

Her sister was getting away. Was all of this mess really going to be for nothing?

[X] Chase after Five. Other people would fight off the Angel, Phanuel. She just needed to catch Intoner and Disciple and she could force them to send their summon away.
[X] Grab Cent and summon her own Angel. The others would have to fight Phanuel to keep it from interfering, but as soon as it was called up, everyone else could just chase Five down.
