"What in the-..." Ruby's lids widened, nothing was happening. The sight before her, shown purple flowers in every corpse on the field. "What's going on...? Nothing's happening..." She mentally stated, as she scanned her orbs over all the vessels.
"Everyone... As I said before..." Chonz started, with a sound of something surfacing up from the ground. Everyone moved their attention to view what it was...it was a decayed hand, that ripped up from the ground. "The war...is far from over..." He finished, then suddenly millions of corpses began to stir and limbs shot up from underground.
Ruby's pupils shrunk at the sight, not once thinking about a nen ability...to control even the dead. The remaining combatants gasped and started freaking out, soon running the other direction for dear life. Low moans from the undead puppets, filled the air and sent shivers down the hawk twin's spin. "S-Sir...Netero... Servine, he can manipulate the dead...?" She gulped, not once moving her gaze from the lifeless moving bodies.
"It appears so... He's obviously a manipulator...a powerful one at that." The Chairman replied, with a stern feature facing the undead enemy soldiers.
"Rui...we need to kill the-" The hawk twin started, until she got interrupted by Hisoka. "Flowers... The purple flowers that are on their bodies, are the source of their connection with Allarie.~ I know, because I have fought him before...cut the bulbs off the corpses and they're useless.~" He mused, whilst walking up next to her. Ruby just rose a brow, then blinked at remembering that he had ran into Servine before; When he was out searching for him, that one day.
"Thanks Hisoka, now we know how to get rid of them... LISTEN UP SOLDIERS! SEVER THE BULBS OF THE PURPLE FLOWERS, THAT REST UPON THE DEAD! DON'T WAVER, OR YOU WILL BE EATEN ALIVE!" Shifter announced to the thirty combatants behind them that remained, having them salute and prepare their nen skills.
"Ruby..." Sikiyona's voiced resonated, catching the said woman's attention; She turned to look over at the Glacial Reaper. "I hope that what I am about to do, will pay you back for the two times you have saved me...and helped me..." She paced ahead of everyone, leaving them all confused. Ruby quirked a brow at her statement, not really comprehending her comment.
( play 'Dies Irae by Anze' Rozman it's on youtube...) Siki kept walking forward, towards the zombies. She kept her white scythe in both hands and her frosted gaze forward. Stopping literally in between the distance of the undead and Netero's army, she flipped her scythe upside down and had the top of it rest on the ground. The pole upward past her face, she held a different expression than she usual did. Her lids now looking a bit serious, with a sudden gust of wind billowing her platinum hair. The scene changed to show her snow white lips, uttering a two words. "Cold Chilll..." Twas all she whispered in her cold, soft and robotic voice. Fog emitted from her mouth, as she spoke. As if on que, a circle of expanding frost brushed across the ground in a wide range. In a single instant, ice crystals burst up from the surface within the frosted radius, engulfing her entire form. Her body couldn't be seen, all the ice around her was pure white and snow gradually began to fall. Faster if fell, gaining more speed over time. All that raining snow soon became a blizzard and circled around the ice crystallization.
Netero and everyone rose their arms, trying to block the harsh wind. The wind billowed everyone's hair and clothing drastically, as if a gigantic fan blew on them. Ruby peeked over an arm, noticing the frosted crystals had ceased and Siki standing there in midst of it. Her lids widened, she looked different...
The frosted lady had paper white glossing skin, long platinum hair, slits in her frosted orbs, large fins on her ears and a long beautiful shining tail that gracefully flailed about. She slowly took her coat off, exposing her entire body. In nothing but a bikini top, shorts and sandals. Gills could be seen on her neck, a fang sticking out of one corner of her mouth and two white horns on her head. Her tail had a couple of fins as well, with spots of light blue here and there.
She gripped her scythe tighter, leaned over and vanished out of sight. Now in the air, she twirled her scythe above her head and had her knees bent, against her chest. Once she landed, she rammed the tip of her blade into the ground, causing ice to blanket all the undead in a coned radius. They were frozen solid, giving her the chance to do as she had done before. She spun in place gracefully, swatting her scythe in the process and made them all scatter into shards.
Vanishing once more, she appeared and disappeared behind each undead, slicing their heads off and the bulbs. She was shown in the air now, falling and having the top of her blade catch her fall on the surface. Like last time when she fought Ruby, she balanced herself upside down and made thick ice mask the surrounding land. Zombies from in her range, got frozen solid.
Ruby, Rui, Illumi, Hisoka and everyone else all gawked at the ice serpent. Amazed at her unsealed power, chunks of the huge amounts of zombies kept shattering into ice fragments. "So this is...her...huh? The power she kept hidden from us... From just her transformation alone, had made a blizzard..." Ruby mumbled with stunned eyes, before thinking about the time she and Siki had fought. "Why didn't she use that against me, when we first fought...?" She mentally asked, feeling frustrated and confused about the question.
"Siki told me, that all mutants have transformations. It's natural for us...since we're half human... She said, 'Some have a difficult time, obtaining their true sealed power and some get it easily... Many chant out words, to transform and some others don't need to.' " Rui mentioned, as she walked up to her twin's side. She kept her solid gaze upon the Glacial Reaper, astonished at her abilities.
Ruby's lids got wider, wondering why she hadn't told her before. She turned to face Siki once more, now watching the whole fight go about. Chunk after chunk of enemies dropped, bulb after bulb getting cut, she was fast and graceful. Her frosted slitted gaze, as robotic as ever.
(Song ends here~ ) "RUI TAKE CARE OF GENERAL SERVINE! RUBY AND EVERYONE ELSE, HELP US FEND OFF THE UNDEAD WITH SIKIYONA!" Chonz shouted, as he ran ahead towards Siki. When he ran, he clapped his hands together and moved his arms in specific ways. Golden aura soon emitted off his body and was now in the fight again. Netero disappeared and joined in, Hisoka, Illumi and Harris...everyone participated in cutting off the bulbs.
Rui looked in Servine's direction, all of a sudden, a quake rumbled and a gigantic skull busted up from the ground. Prehistoric bones emerged from the surface near Servine's huge flower. A T-rex rose as well, soon breaking into a full run and didn't even make a roar. With each stomp of its big skeletal feet, the ground would quake. As it ran, it picked up one of Netero's soldiers with its mouth and continued to sprint onward.
Rui squinted her solid peers, flew high into the air and avoided the whole battle. "I must get rid of that evil man!" She mentally shouted, flying high into the sky. Once she got up to the purple blossom, she ascended up the wide stem and finally met the top. What she wasn't expecting was...for Allarie to be facing her.
"Ah, hello Rui kowaza...~ Are you here to kill me? If so, then I'm afraid to say...that you 'll just end up being one of my puppets...hmhmhmhmhm~..." He mused then laughed under his breath, watching her hover there in her transformed state. "Such a beautiful form...to let go to waste, after death. Don't worry...I'll take good...care...of your corpse!~" He slowly spoke, making the bug twin shudder at his voice.
"I WILL NOT LET YOU HARM ANYONE ELSE! IF SAVING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, MEANS HAVING TO KILL YOU- THEN I WILL! THOSE CORPSES YOU TOOK CONTROLE OVER, WILL BE ABLE TO REST IN PEACE ONCE YOU'RE GONE!" She shouted, before racing to him. She conjured insects to follow behind her and vines to uproot high into the sky. Whipping sounds echoed from the wines, as they rushed after Servine.
He dodged every one of those vines, took out multiple corn cockle blossoms and sliced all the bugs. His arms moved at a blinding speed, nearly the same speed as Rui's flight. Twas a mere distraction to catch the garden snake off guard, she appeared just behind the swarm of insects and punted him with her leg, sideways. He got sent flying through the air, monstrously. He was flipping uncontrollably in the sky, though caught himself and started shooting his flowers rapidly.
She dodged every one of them, buzzing all over the sky and getting closer by the minute. She did a half front flip and then kicked him by dropping a leg on top his head. He descended heavily toward the ground, making a crater underneath him. She flown after him, preparing to stomp her feet in his midsection. Just in time, he moved and had her break the crater in even deeper. He stood afar from the impact, watching her. All of a sudden, she vanished out of sight, appeared up close to him and used her mantis claws to slice at his face.
He ducked just in time, unfortunately having his bandage wrappings around his head, to get cut loose. His wrappings fell in slow motion, not showing his features. Rui gasped and backed up instantly, with her guard still raised.
Servine stood there, his mouth unchanging in expression. The scene shown his forehead, his hair was dark brown and his long bangs past his lids. The scene slowly zoomed down, showing his orbs...they were blind. White hazed over peers, shadow over them and hidden eyebrows.
Rui squinted her lids, zipped forward and spun. Her arms and legs extended, swatting at him at an insane speed. He moved his head all over the place, avoiding each hit while nearly getting cut by her blades.
It only took one punch from Allarie, into her stomach, to make her stop. The sound from his punch was muffled but, emitted an aftershock to come out from the other side of her; He had done internal damage to her... She backed up slowly, inches above the ground. She held her stomach and had trouble breathing with the air that got knocked out of her. "W-w-what...?" She asked in between breathes, only to hear the snake laugh to himself.
"You're powerful I'll give you that...but not strong enough, my dear butterfly.~" He mused and kicked her head, making her fall flat onto the ground. Her lids wide, blood fell from her head and corners of her mouth. "It only takes a simple hit...for a butterfly to die... Don't worry though... You'll be my little butterfly and that will dance for me in the field, soon after your passing.~" He mused once more, now walking away. Her lids were still wide, mouth open and laid there as if she was dead.
"Float like a butterfly...sting like a hornet..." A memory occurred, echoing through her mind as she laid there. Close to death, a simple phrase murmured in the back of her head. "Erase...Emotions... Kill those who are evil... Bring forth the killing machine..." Those words echoed in her mind. The scene shown one of her hands, her fingers twitched a couple times and her wrist twitched once.
(Play J.T Peterson – Venetian Plague (such a pretty song~) Allarie was walking his merry way, back to his big flower. Showing in the background, Rui gradually stood to her feet. Head dangling down, her eyes were a light violet color now due to the shadow veiling over. She stood there for a moment, no emotion on her face at all. Her wings fluttered blindingly, lips apart slightly.
The said snake stopped in his tracks, turned his head and gasped. She was gone...
Out of the blue, he got monstrously hit in the jaw and got sent flying. She zipped over to him in midst of his flight, hitting him again. She performed a sequence of hits, bouncing him back and forth in the air like volley ball. Just as she got higher into the air, she stopped above him, watching him soar to her by her own attack. She turned sideways, spun vertically and flown down to him. She hit him in his gut, pushing him down to the earth with her following suit. From afar, rings dispersed from her speed as they both descended. Once making contact to the surface, it made a huge earthquake and caused chunks of land to uproot.
The sun barely rose over the horizon, showing some light peeking through. All the undead were now taken care of, everyone watched Rui's fight with Allarie and looked surprised. Illumi was flabbergasted, even though he didn't show it.
The General got out from under her, running at incredible speed. She burst into flight right after he ran, crushing the ground as she left the spot. He ran sideways a bit, shooting out his flowers at the ground. Undead rose and some prehistoric animals, though she dodged them all as they reached for her. Two skeletal dinosaurs went to grab for her but, they were too slow. She turned to her side and zipped right past them. Bugs of all kinds followed after her, engulfing the new undead quickly and cutting the flowers off.
She lowered an arm, commanding vines to uproot and tangle his feet; That caused him to stumble forward from the vine's grasp. He saw her flying after him, her fairy like dress beautifully waving behind her. He went to cut the vines up with his flower but...she used that to her advantage and had the roots in the flower bind him. Once he fell to the ground, she tackled him and had them both roll across the land at a fast rate.
Once on top of him, she punched him in the face, causing the ground underneath them to crack. She repeated the process, each hit made a crack and a super small quake. She extended her blades from her wrist and hit him again, cutting his cheek during so. She sliced his neck and face up terribly, blood splattering on her and the ground forming a pool of it. (The song ends here~ )
"Rui..." Illumi mumbled, watching her constantly punch him. He vanished then reappeared behind her, picking her from under her armpits and leaning in close to her head. "Rui...he's done... There is no need for you to continue." He whispered, making the robotic twin stop in her antic. She passed out, dangling in his hold. The vines that entangled the snake, released him and moved back into the ground.
Ruby and everyone else walked up to the twin, looking at the mess she made. "She snapped, didn't she...?" Zeno asked, the elder looked at the unconscious bug twin with his black irises.
"Yes..." Ruby added, now holding a stoic yet sad expression. "She almost died...by that snake... I wonder what saved her..." She mentioned, having Hisoka, Illumi and Harris look at her.
"Does it matter? The fact that she's still alive, is what's good to know..." Shifter stated, making Ruby smile softly and nod.
Clapping was heard from afar, making all heads turn to see Vince. He was standing upon the tallest peak on his base. Though his clapping was so loud, it reached out to them. The scene slowly moved to show his lab coat softly waving from the gust, along with the strands of his blonde hair.
"So... He did show up after all..." Netero stated, glaring daggers at the demented, red eyed blonde.
"He's Vince...huh...?~" Hisoka asked, a bit upset that he didn't get to fight Allarie. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, smirking at the blonde scientist.
"Yes... Be warned...he is very POWERFUL... I can't believe that he was disguised as a janitor, I don't know why I haven't seen it before. Ruby, you mentioned that and yet I still didn't see it... I admit, he had me fooled, haha! However... I have fought him countless times before, not once getting his name...until now. I lost every fight I've been in with him, haha!~" He chuckled to himself, earning sweat drops from the others.
Vince's red glowing peers, viewed the remaining enemies below. Now looking down the long peak, calculating how much strength he should put up to endure such a fall. He put one foot forward and let his body descend. Down the tall cylinder, he fell harshly with an unfazed, straight posture. His lab coat flailed rapidly behind him, his lids as stoic as usual and his hands in his pockets.
Once he landed, it stirred up dirt into the air, causing a tiny quake and waited until the dust cleared. His was body unseen, except for his crimson gaze that pierced through and glowed. "Now... It appears my turn, has come...~" He spoke, keeping his attention on Netero and his small army.
