H x H Fraternal Twin- chapter 31: New Orders!
"They're here.~" Servine's voice echoed through the purple flower, that Vince had. The said scientist was walking down a hall, closing in on a double door. He touched the flower that stuck out of his pocket, not even moving his red gaze to it. "Very well, I presume you already initiated the attack...?" He asked his General, whilst touching the door handles.
"Yes, sir. I've commanded my men, to send air strikes from your base and flier mutants to take out some of their soldiers from above. Though they got wiped out by a couple of combatants, that I couldn't make out in the dark. I have a hunch that the bright electrical strike that got shot out, came from Ruby Kowaza... I could be wrong, since there are other humans with electrical nen abilities... No need to worry though, I'll just use their corpses for the war.~" Allarie replied promptly, in a muscly manner. A sign of obsession, could be heard in his last sentence.
"Good... Be sure to block all entry ways of all routes, I'm sure Netero will choose to take the shortest and longest routes. Though that is, if Sikiyona had convinced him to do so... If I know her correctly, her IQ level is that of an intellectual AI from a robot. Incredibly smart, yet not smart enough..." The Leader demanded, before the mention of Siki. He opened the double doors, on the other side was a spiral staircase. He walked up it and waited for Allarie's response.
"Very well, Sir Vince Bodoudai...~" Servine mused in reply. It got quiet afterwords, indicating that he 'hung up'. The blonde Leader himself trotted his way up the extremely tall staircase, thinking of how stupid Netero and his army was.
"I half expected Sikiyona to give away the coordinates of my base, considering she is now an enemy... I'm surprised Netero doesn't understand... Of how long I've been going at this mutation goal, not once had he managed to defeat me... His actions are futile, yet he doesn't see it. He's been after me for over a century, trying to make me stop with what I'm doing...but, he'd get pushed back down every time. This will be the last battle between us, this war will determine the winner... And I plan on succeeding regardless... My dear ants, only one of you will become the queen of mutations. Only you...will succeed where I may fail, if I lose this war." He mentally stated, finally reaching the top of the stairs. A lone door rested in his vision, opening it slowly to reveal an outdoor setting.
The said man stepped outside, now looking down at all the soldiers who ran at his enemies. He stood at the highest peak on his base, viewing the combatants. Countless deaths of his soldiers and the enemy's soldiers, piled up one after another. Cries of pain, blood gushing from a lot of people, bones getting broken or crushed, heads getting cut off, limbs flying here and there... Nothing fazed the blonde scientist, as he gazed upon the chaotic fight. "We're losing... Not much of my men are left but, that doesn't mean I don't have a card up my sleeve...hmhmhmhmhmhm...~" He mentally mused, squinting his gaze a bit. His white chemical mask barely wavered from the gust in the atmosphere.

"Rui..." Illumi said, watching her robotic features. Her wide pink eyes unchanging and her lips were apart. A long pause between them stood, taking about a minute to react. She vanished, reappearing behind him and preparing to strike with her mantis claws. He turned to face her just in time, before getting sliced. He caught her wrist, catching the other one right after. He held on to her, only to have her flip backwards a bit and bring her legs up, to hit him square in the face. He moved his head in time, backing it up and making her flip all the way back. Her arms got twisted from the strong hold, preventing her from moving much.
He noticed how her antennas twitched, with her standing still in that posture. Insects was heard buzzing in the sky, having him peer up and notice the most deadliest hornets fly after him. No...not just hornets... Red ants, hornets of all kinds, mosquitoes, bees, moths and many more raced after him. He let go and disappeared out of sight, soon appearing by his father. "Father... Rui is being controlled, with her conjuration abilities, will we have a difficult time fending her off without killing her..." He spoke his monotonous voice, making the elder stop in midst of his fight.
Zeno peered over in her direction... Shade masked her noticeable pink and solid gaze, she was leaned over, arms dangling and hair in her face slightly. Her eyes looked emotionless and wide, mouth barely apart and numerous insects rushed their way past her like a large wave of water. What they didn't expect, was for the bugs to circle around her.
"Illumi, she's transforming! Keep on your guard!" He shouted to his son, turning his head back to the scientist enemy. "Hold her off, I'll take care of this man here. Killing him should release her, from his nen ability!" He vanished and continued to attack the foe. Illumi did as he was ordered, flashing out of view and reappearing behind her. She was in her fairy looking attire, green skin, insect antennas with ball points, glass butterfly wings and green vines wrapped around her forearms, hands and feet.
Just as she was about to turn and kick him on the side of his head, he dodged and appeared at her back side. "I must hold her down, or she will hurt herself..." He mumbled mentally, finally spotting an opening. He grabbed her from behind, his forearms under her armpits. "She won't be able to fly, with me against her back..." He said once more, in his head. He seen her head move, watching her struggle to get free; He hadn't expected for her to headbutt him with the back of her head, he let go just barely and had her escape his grasp.
She disappeared, beautifully flying into the air. She did a twist and swatted her arms out straight from her sides, summoning tree roots and vines to burst out from the ground. Illumi watched from the distance, her body was straight and a bit stiff, with her arms out slowly moving, aiming in his direction. The tree roots and vines came up over the horizon behind her, soon rushing past her and attacking Illumi. He jumped, evaded and sliced at her attacks. Once he landed again, on the ground, roots fazed upward and almost snatched him, if he hadn't moved out of the way in time.
She twirled once slowly, then twirled a second time and disappeared. He jumped high into the air, avoiding everything that came at him from below, without realizing that she was right behind him. He gradually turned, only to get hit in the face by her foot and get shot towards the ground monstrously. The ground quaked and chunks of the earth uprooted around him. He laid there on his back, watching her descend and prepare to stomp him further into the ground with both her feet. Though everything died off and she passed out in midst of her fall, making her go limp. He noticed that, stood up instantly and held out his arms.
Rui got caught in his forearms, with her attire going back to their normal green wear. Her glass butterfly wings reverted back to their original ones and her bug antennas, returned to their pink and ridged ones; She was out cold. He looked around, viewing the mess she made, dead vines and roots remained on the surface. He looked over to his father and seen that he stood just above the scientist, who was now dead. Looking back down to Rui, he knelt down, let her legs touch the ground and went to pull out the dart.
Even after he took it out, she didn't stir. "Rui... Wake up..." He muttered vocally, his black orbs watching her unconscious form.
"So you managed to hold her off, while I killed that man? Also seems you didn't even need to lift a needle against her...good..." Zeno said, after appearing right in front of his son. His arms behind his back and his black irises now on Rui. "She'll wake up in time, Illumi... Just carry her, I'll take the lead so our group can wipe out the enemies ahead. You just keep her safe from harm, until then." He demanded, watching his son nod and stand with her in his arms.
"Illumi, Zeno! I checked the entry way into Vince's base, that you guys are heading towards! They're being blocked off and surrounded by guards! If you take down the guards, it will probably take a long time to unseal the entry way! We don't have much time to unseal, come back to the field immediately!" Yorkshire shouted in panic in both their ear pieces, as if something was bound to happen if they didn't leave right away. Zeno nodded, turned the opposite direction and made his leave, having Illumi follow suit.

Back with Ruby, she was fighting off the soldiers with Hisoka and Shifter. Harris (aka Shifter) was spinning in place, whipping out his industrial chains and swiftly taking the foes out from around him. Hisoka used his 'slingshot' technique that Ruby suggested he'd try before, taking out an incredible long line of combatants in its radius. The shot made a long fissure down the line of the enemy soldiers. Ruby sliced through one bad guy after another, twirling around and cutting through them like butter. She had her shield out, blocking physical attacks from the enemies.
"Damn, there's too many! When did they call reinforcements?!" Harris asked loudly, reaching the other two's ears.
"Shifter, if we can just get through them and get inside, we can-" She got cut off by Milluki over her ear piece, as well Harris and Hisoka's too. "Guys, the entry way has been sealed off. They called reinforcements to build up the security, even if you did kill them all off, you wouldn't have time to unseal the blockage... Return to the front lines right now, the Chairman will give you different orders." He said, making the three heed his call and do exactly that.
"Come on guys, grab on to my wrists!" Ruby sheathed her rapier, sprawled her six wings out and had them grab on to her. "We're taking flight, faster we get out of here, the better!" She said with confidence and a strong voice. Hisoka and Shifter both, watched her lift off the ground, now holding on to her wrists. Both men soon dangled a couple inches off the surface, then took off flying at a decent speed. "Don't drop us now, Ruby-gem.~" The joker mused with a smirk, gazing up at her like he had that one day before.
She looked down at him, a stoic face as usual. "As if I ever would..." She reassured him, softly smiling after lifting her golden irises ahead of her. "Rui... I hope you're alright..." She mumbled mentally, wishing that she was right there with her right now.

It wasn't long, until Ruby and Rui's team all returned to the front lines. Ruby spotted her sister, once her and her group got near the healer's section. "RUUUIIII!" Ruby shouted to her twin, frightened at the sight of her being unconscious, in Illumi's hold. She ran to the two Zoldycks, widened lids and slightly gritted teeth. "Rui, Rui are you ok!?" She asked desperately, placing a hand on her twin's cheek.
"She is out cold, one of the scientists shot a dart at the back of her head and took control of her..." Illumi said with no emotion evident in his eyes.
"Where is the scientist...? WHERE IS HE?!" She angrily shouted at the monotonous man, hoping for an answer...and she got one. Zeno walked up by his son, gazing upon the armored hawk twin.
"I killed him, no need to worry... She's fine, no harm had come to her. She was forced to fight against Illumi, though he didn't fight back to ensure her well being..." He said, making Ruby sigh in relief and cool her head.
"Thank you..." Her lids were shut and felt content with his words. Opening her orbs, she peered over to Netero who she saw using his Buddha skill. "He's that strong...? And Chonz..." She rolled her golden irises over to the buff old man, seeing him slaughter many combatants in his range; He had a golden aura around him, it reminded her of some sort of brute lion man. "He's incredibly strong too, it's no wonder why he was the previous war hero... Aside from that..." She said, then looked back over to Rui with contemplation in her gaze. "How will we fare, if we can't get through those routes? What are the new orders...?" She asked, facing Illumi and Zeno.
"I'm not sure, Cheadle said we were needed in the front lines. New orders would be given to us, once we all got here." He said, seeing her nod and turn her head back over to Netero.
"How are we going to talk to him, when he's too busy fighting?" Ruby asked. She couldn't believe the amount of allied soldiers that had been painted all over the land, wishing she could have done something to prevent that.
"I'll go up there and ask, you two sit tight..." Zeno announced and flashed out of view, not giving them a chance to respond. He reappeared and stood next to Netero, watching all the enemies fly like debris. "Isaac, we're all here...What are your new orders?" He asked from Netero's side, keeping his guard up in case enemy combatants attacked him.
"The most we can do, is take out these soldiers... The big guns might come out and fight next, if we get rid of them...then their Leader is sure to surface!" He answered, making Zeno nod and reply to him.
"Alright, I'll inform the twins and my family..." He answered, soon appearing next to Illumi once more. "He said we have to defeat all the enemy soldiers, to force the higher ups to come out. If we kill off the higher ups, the Leader...Vince, should show himself..." His words made Ruby go stiff and narrow her lids.
"ALL of them...?" Ruby asked, before inhaling slowly and softly exhaling afterwords. "Fine... If that's what it'll take, then I'll jump in!" She raised her voice, answering the elder. Shifting in her stance and peeked back over to Rui. "Make sure she's saf-" Before she got to finish, Rui stirred and opened her solid gaze.
"N-Ne-...san...? Illumi...-kun...?" Rui asked softly, trying to wake up. Illumi moved his black orbs to her, his lids masking half of his eyes. Once the bug twin's vision cleared up, she seen Illumi's face just above hers. His jawline, visible in her view. Her face got red, after peering deeply Into his blank gaze.
"Rui... You feeling alright...?" She heard her twin ask and looked over at the said sister. She nodded with a gently smile gracing her lips, happy to know Ruby was ok. "Y-yes... What about you, what's going on right now and why was I unconscious?" She questioned her sister, innocent features meeting stoic ones.
"I'm fine, a lot of people died here in this war... You got hit in the head by a dart and passed out, though who did it- took control over you and made you fight Illumi... Also, Netero needs us up front. He said that if we take out the soldiers, the higher ups will show and if we take them out...Vince will surface..." Rui grew a serious look, nodding in understanding.
"Ok..." She replied, feeling Illumi put her down. She stood straight, looked at her twin and walked to her. "Let's kick some bad guy butt!" She said, making her twin smile at her goal to lighten up the mood.
"Hisoka, I'm going to carry you into the air... Rui you do the same for Illumi. Once we release you two, you need to shoot out a wide range of aerial attacks. Kill as many as you can, before landing! Rui and I will use our wide radius skills, though she would be better at it than I would... Still, the more at a time we kill, the faster things will go!" She shouted and turned to Hisoka...who was smirking at her speech.
"I'm up for anything, it should be fun.~ I bet I could kill more than you, Illumi.~" He mused, now locking his gaze with black orbs. "Let's have a count, who ever has the most enemy soldiers killed off, wins. The loser will have to pay for the winner, in anything they ask for.~" He challenged Illumi, as if life and death was a mere game to him.
"Your means of entertainment, is quite odd... However, I accept your challenge..." He admitted, earning an even bigger smirk from the joker.
"Let's go..." Ruby demanded, having him and Illumi face her. She walked up to the joker and grabbed his hands, staring deeply into his irises. He nodded, having her sprawl her wings out and fly into the air. Rui did the same with Illumi, grabbing his hands and flying into the air. They flew high above the battle field, getting just ahead of Netero.
The view was just breath taking, countless bodies littered the land, battle cries echoed and so many mutants attacked in the most horrific ways. (Play 'Tristan by two steps from hell' Extended mix- for the scene~) "Ready...Hisoka...?" She asked, moving her lids to the joker. She seen him nod and both her and Rui chucked them down to the field.
They soared down, Hisoka and Illumi side by side. They took out their weapons and started spraying the field with their aerial attack. Cards raining down, piercing into their skulls and slicing of limbs. Blood splattered and screams yelled out in the air, with each kill they'd make.
Once they landed, they sprinted into a full run and began killing enemies with ease. Ruby swopped down toward a bunch of soldiers, twirling before landing. She cleverly swatted her rapier out of her sheathe and started spinning forward. She stopped, put her blade to her hip and then swung her sword out like a samurai, sending out waves of light.
Rui summoned her transformation, as she had before. "Erase... Emotions... Clear...your mind... Slaughter the bad guys..." She mentally stated, the colorful scenery from all around her getting covered up by darkness; Expressing that her emotions, were leaving her. Her eyes widened, lips parted and she fluttered there in place. She twirled once, vanishing in the process. Appearing close to the enemy combatants, she soared above them and had insects following her; They killed countless enemies.
Roots and vines surfaced, caught a lot of mutants and crushed them in their hold. Blood spurting out, as they did so. She turned side ways, spun quickly with her wings and began attacking the mutant soldiers. Her mantis claws out, cutting them up and her feet crushing their body with each hit she'd attempt.
The whole battle field looked like a small army that had the strength of thousands of men, being up against uncountable mutants in their path. The whole battle full of mutants, was getting wiped out by just Netero, Chonz, Hisoka, Illumi, Sikiyona, Kikyo, Silva, Rui...and Ruby. Most of their men died, leaving only them left and some others. (The song ends here D : )
After fighting for so long, the field looked full of nothing but corpses. Everyone cheered behind them. Hisoka looked scathed, Illumi seemed untouched, Ruby panted and Rui reverted back to her senses, breathing heavily. Netero kept his gaze at the distance, finally unfolding his hands and making the Buddha disappear. Silva, Sikiyona, Shifter, Neon, Kikyo and Chonz all paced themselves toward Netero and gazed at the men who was left, hearing them cheer.
Illumi, Hisoka, Ruby and Rui all made their way to Netero...without realizing someone far in the distance, was walking towards them... Netero squinted his gaze, watching the unidentifiable figure make their way to them. "It's not over yet, men! We still have the higher ups to deal with!" Chonz shouted, making the remaining soldiers quiet down. Chonz looked at whom Netero was looking at, then he too squinted his lids after seeing the tall figure. "He's an enemy, should we wait or attack now...?" Chonz asked the Chairman, moving his head to him.
Seeing Netero nod his head forward, he gestured for Chonz to look. And so he did, the tall man was now standing still. "Who is that...?" He asked Isaac, whilst raising his guard.
Hisoka, Illumi and the twins walked up to them and looked in the shady figure's direction. "General Servine Allarie...~" A voice resonated behind them all. Hisoka stepped closer and smirked, knowing he was finally gonna give him hell.
The scene changed to show the said General, only his oddly shaped lips in view. The faint pink where his lips were, shined as if someone put lip gloss on him. He rose a hand, having a corn cockle flower in it and pierced its stem into the ground, by chucking it. A much larger form of the flower grew under his feet, raising him up high into the sky. Netero and everyone's lids widened at the huge flower, its stem being far wider than the width of a tall business building.
The garden snake stood on top of the flower, in the middle of the carpel. His robes waved from the wind, the front exposing his chest. He viewed the corpses scattered over the land, mentally smirking at their usefulness. "Now... Be my little puppets and get back up, the war is far from over...~" He mumbled, taking out many flowers and holding them in between his fingers. He shot them all out at blinding speed, his body unmoving from his thrusts. It rained purple flowers from above, stabbing into all the thousands of soldiers and some into the ground.
Showing Servine once more, he tilted his head forward, allowing shadow to cover his face. "Even the bones from underground will suffice... Come and dance for me, my dearest undead...~ hmhmhmhmhmhm...~" He mused, laughing madly under his breath and showing a sign of obsession with the dead.
