With the dust hovering through the air, crimson irises pierced through it as if it were butter. Everyone stepped closer to each other, with Ruby, Hisoka, Illumi, shifter and Sikiyona holding out their weapons. Ruby still being in her armor, stood out the most due to its glowing yellow lines. Her pupils shrunk at the sight of crimson eyes, that stared at her and the others. Her breaths wavered, with her slightly shaking. "That's him... That's the janitor..." She whispered to herself, too stunned to avert her hawk orbs.
Rui, who was still out cold, remained in Illumi's arms and had not stirred once. The black haired Zoldyck, had an unfazed gaze, whilst gluing them to the red eyed scientist. Hisoka had a dangerous frown on him, giving the most deadliest glare to the crimson eyed monster. He got in front of Ruby, held her back and took out a card in one of his hands. "Ruby... Let me take care of him, it's obvious he's too powerful for you...~" He spoke, making the said hawk woman to finally break her stare and gaze at him from behind.
"Hisoka, I-" She got cut off, when he turned to peer over his shoulder at her. He was serious and she noticed it. "Rely on me, Ruby-Gem~" He demanded, pulling a smiling facade with squinted lids. He seen her eyes waver, then nod in acceptance.
Sikiyona had her white scythe out, being in her transformed state. Her slits were thinner than before, seeing those red eyes reminded her of that shady man...who kidnapped her. "It is him... That is the man, who had kidnapped me a century ago..." She spoke mentally, frosted orbs wavering at the thought. "He took everything from me...everything... My brother, my mother...my father..." She spoke once more, that horrific nightmare reoccurring and repeating the scene, of his eyes gleaming through the darkness. She wanted to break down and attack, though she knew better since it would only have her get killed.
Netero kept his attention on the scientist's red gaze, not once getting overwhelmed by fear. The same was for Chonz, although he was a bit shocked at the sight. Shifter had his two industrial long chains out, not letting his guard down. Neon stood behind shifter, since she never liked getting involved in fights. "Neon... Leave this island and go to Milluki. Live another day and find happiness, I don't need your death on my conscious..." He whispered, to where only she could hear.
"But Harris...you'll need a healer to-" He took off his hood, his mask and faced his partner. He knelt down to her height, hugged her with a comforting embrace and petted her head. "You're like a daughter to me, I can't bare the thought of my little girl getting involved in this mess..." He said, not breaking the hug. "Go...find Milluki...and stay alive... Don't worry, we'll win this war." He reassured her, making her slightly sob and nod in his hold. "Good girl..." He said, broke the hug and towered over her. He had beautiful dark red hair, green eyes and slightly tanned skin. Watching her turn around, she ran off and hurried on to one of the spare boats, leaving everyone on the island. Harris watched Nomu retreat with a content and fatherly smile, hope filling his green orbs. He turned around to face the terror masked by the flown dirt, his expression now changing to a stoic look.
"Wise choice, Shifter... Sending Nomu away to safety, was for the best..." Netero muttered, still not breaking his gaze from the enemy. "He's coming, keep on your toes!" He shouted, making everyone raise their guard up even more. The dust around the scientist had never ceased, only exposing his intimidating glare.
The scene shown nothing but dust in close view, taking a moment before one of his feet stepped out. Next his back left the flown dirt, with the tail of his lab coat flailing behind him. The top of his head now in view, quickly leaving the dust and hair wavering from the slight wind as he walked. His hands in his pockets, his piercing crimson eyes soon peaking out and then his medical mask. Each scene went from one to the other and soon shown a hand reaching up to his chemical mask, gradually pulling it was seen, was the most devilish smile anyone has ever witnessed. His teeth were not shown, since his mouth was barely open. He slowly walked to the group, his back to the scene. Gracefully did the tail of his coat wave, switching the view to see him from the front.
He put his hand back in his pocket and spotted Servine, pacing himself to his General. Vince's skin was pale, showing the lack of sun in it. Gaining distance, he passed up the group and slowly made his way to the garden snake. Kneeling down, he rested his elbows on his upper thighs and peered down at the man. "General Servine Allarie... You couldn't handle them after all... It appears your usefulness...has ended... I suppose, before you die, I could enlighten you with some...information..." He spoke, making the snake turn his head just a fraction, showing he was listening. "I have erased your memories, so now...would be a good time to give them back." As he said that, he took out a needle from his pocket and stuck his arm with it. Pushing the liquid in, he took it back out and placed it back in its spot.
It took a minute for Servine to react but, once the liquid began to take effect...let's just say he felt a pain in his head. He didn't scream, though his lids did widen and he seen many images fly through his mind. "Father, I wanted you to meet someone I love!" A man spoke excitedly, sheer glee on his features. The man was facing the snake, with a beautiful woman behind them. She was pregnant, contently stroking her stomach with a mother look in her eyes. Another scene came up, showing his son and his son's lover getting married. She was gorgeous, pure white gown with a lovely white veil over her hair, elegantly touching the ground. His son wore a tuxedo, appearing as handsome as ever. Seeing them two share a kiss and exchange rings, brought tears to Servine's eyes presently. Another scene... Was when he were watching the news on T.V, thinking about his son's happiness... That was until urgent news appeared over screen, saving that some man had an accident and was killed. He knew that man...that man was his son... Servine's blind eyes widened even more, persistent tears streaming down his face. The next scene, was when...he had a heart attack, over hearing the news about his son...then...a faint voice... After he woke up, the scene changed to show Vince's face and him laying down on a table. "Good, you're awake... Did you sleep well?" Twas all the blonde asked, making the man slowly sit up straight, feeling like he had forgotten something... Something...important...
"You...used me... You...took away my precious memories... My daughter in law, my son...my...grandchildren... H-how...d-dare...you.." Allarie managed to say presently, coughing in between words. His voice wavered, from the emotional pain he was getting.
"Fear not... You will join them soon...although, you will be the first to leave. Your grandchildren, will see you soon right after your passing... After all, you having been after them for a long time... Trying to kill them for me, to get them out of my hair.~" Vince replied darkly, small laughter being muffled by his closed mouth. Allarie's lids shot open, realizing what he meant.
"You made me...fight my own...-" Twas all he managed to say, before getting cut off. Vince stood to his feet, stuffing his hands back into his pants pockets. "Grand babies, yes... They were a thorn in my side, so I had you go after them. You and Sikiyona both, were quite useful to me. I even had you kill your own daughter in law and kidnap your own grandchildren, taking them to SGSF.~" He turned his back to his General, not even uttering laughter this time. Slowly pacing to Ruby and her twin, he watched how shocked the hawk sister was.
"Y-You... He... He's my..." Ruby couldn't believe her ears, her pupils shrunk more at the news. "Grandfather?!" She finally finished, taking a step back, with Hisoka still in front. Vince smirked, shadow veiling over his orbs and his crimson gaze piercing through it. His bangs brushed over his eye lids, showing the menacing side of his face. "YOU USED MY OWN GRANDFATHER, TO FIGHT US?!" she screamed out once more, not even earning a change in Vince's expression.
Hisoka was beyond pissed now, his dear birdie had only one man who was kin to her and her twin... then that asshole just took that away from them, used him and thrown him away as if he were trash. Everyone was astonished to hear that information, even Illumi...surprisingly...
"Now...Ruby... It is time for you to meet with you parents, your sister will follow suit as well...once your gone." He smiled evilly, only to have the said twin lash out at him in a roaring, angry frenzy.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed out, tears welling up in her eyes and falling. She lunged at him, swinging her sword to cut him up; Only to have the said blonde to vanished out of sight and leave laughter behind.
"You were going to be the most successful experiment, aside from Servine and Sikiyona, that I had ever made! You would have been a perfect pawn for me, Ruby!" It was Hisoka's turn to act. He located Vince and shot a card in his direction, just to have it miss when the blonde moved his head. The joker disappeared, then reappeared behind the scientist. The blonde's lids closed and he shifted his feet, moving just an inch away from Hisoka's strike. He moved so fast, that not even Zeno could follow.
"Hisoka, Hisoka...the first escapee, from SGSF. How-" Vince started, only to be lunged at by Illumi and nearly get stuck by his needle. He vanished during the second the assassin's needle, got close to his neck. " Expected...~" He finished, appearing right behind Illumi within an instant. Hisoka stood there, dangerously eying the scientist and choosing to keep on his toes.
Illumi turned around and peered at the said man behind him, keeping his guard up for any attempt the blonde would make. "Such wasted efforts and stamina, on a man that not even Isaac can defeat.~ You are all too weak to fight me but, by all means...do... It'll save me the trouble of chasing you, myself..." He dangerously spoke, before laughing to himself.
"Vince!" Netero's voice echoed, causing the said blonde to slowly face the old man. His smirk didn't waver, not even in the slightest. Staring at the elder, he watched him put his hands together in a praying gesture to make his Buddha appear. "I WILL NOT LET YOU TORMENT ANYONE EVER AGAIN! Your idea of making a 'better' human race, only means an end to them! Mutating humans into something more, will only make them lose their humanity! Man kind will not exist and I- no...WE WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN! THIS HAS GONE ON FOR FAR TOO LONG, VINCE! FOR OVER A CENTURY, YOU HAVE BEEN ON THAT THEORY OF YOURS AND LOOK; DON'T YOU REALIZE, WHAT IT HAS DON'T TO YOU?! You've mutated even yourself!" Netero's face was fierce, serious as all out could be. His piercing pupils met with unfazed red ones, watching the man smirk.
"Of course I realize... Or otherwise...I wouldn't be mutating other people...~" He replied smoothly, chuckling to himself. He rose his hand and clenched it into a fist, causing his knuckles to crack. "Now, let me take care of you...quickly..." He smiled devilishly; His open mouth did not expose his white teeth, only the blackness that was in it. Slowly, his skin turned red, grew scales and his ears pointed out in three ways. Faint red webbing in between his points formed, his face slightly formed into a serpent's mussel and had long points growing out past his head. Even those long points had faint red webbing in between. His short blonde hair grew longer and turned red with blond tips at the ends, the length stretched down past his upper back. Two fangs poked out from the corners of his mouth, with them glossing under the light. Lastly...once he loosened his fist up, it looked much thicker and had sharp claws. All in all, he had the appearance of a red sea serpent with no tail.
(Play 'Nomad by audiomachine', it's Vince's character theme~ ) Ruby's pupils shrunk more, feeling the evil radiating off his form like heat. "Stay back everyone!" Netero shouted and moved his hands in a certain direction. Hisoka picked Ruby up, due to her being frozen in fear and vanished. Everyone else followed the elder's order and took off a distance away, with Rui still in Illumi's hold. Ruby watched in horror, his speed was insane when Netero swung the Buddha's arms rapidly.
Vince kept jumping high into the air, dodging nearly every hit. As he dodged one of them though, he got struck by one of the arms and it sent him flying. Soaring, he landed and ended up skidding across the top of the ocean. He flipped to fix his posture, while he skidded and planted his hands on the ocean's surface. Water splashed up, whilst him being in that skidding motion. The moment he stopped, he burst into full speed and made water rise up behind him.
In the distance, Netero noticed a small movement with water rapidly following it. Getting a closer look, his orbs squinted at the sight and prepared himself. The transformed scientist was running across the water, at inhumane speed. His long red hair and coat flailed behind him, his mouth was barely open and his lids were narrowed. It only took a few seconds for him to be up close to the elder's face and get a strike in with his clawed hand.
Netero grunted after he rose an arm and blocked the attack; Using his free arm, he swung and made the Buddha swing its arm too. It connected with Vince's face, sending him across the land once more and brutally making him crash into his own building. Dust stirred around the hole that he flew threw, soon clearing and showing that he was gone. Netero grew stunned at the sight and desperately searched for his location, which was...right behind him. He spun and kicked his leg out, causing the scientist to duck and drop kick him.
Netero vanished from sight off the ground, appearing into the air with a his Buddha's fist ready. "Oh Netero...you should know, that won't work on me..." Vince spoke and flashed out of view, having the Buddha's fist seismic punch the ground and make the surface quake. The old man looked up and seen how he was mimicking his aerial attack but, a bit different. Raising his arms, he moved his hands rapidly above his head and made his Buddha shoot out his arms with amazing speed.
Vince's signature smirk formed and coated his arms in red aura; He turned sideways, spun horizontally and whipped out expended red aura. Those red auras on both his arms, merely held the same appearance as his own arms and hands. Spinning, he looked like a red wheel. That move kept deflecting Netero's swift Buddha movements and nearly got through an opening that was made, almost hitting Netero square on his head.
The elder gasped and disappeared, then reappeared in the distance. He kept up his quick strikes with his Buddha and backed up every time Vince got too close. Swiping his hands out to deflect every ranged swing, Vince would shoot out from his extended aura arms. Just when the elder was about to block an oncoming attack that he failed to evade, Vince smashed a red aura arm into the ground and caused a long crack to form at Netero. The old man looked down and realized something, he forgot that he could manipulate water...
As soon as he had formed that long fissure, water gushed up through the long crack and pushed Netero high into the air. That caught him off guard, giving Vince an opening. He appeared above the elder, performing the same tactic he had done before and managed to ram an extended fist into Netero's gut, from spinning only once. Netero got shot down into the surface, with a crater forming underneath and several rings to appear in the air. Once the serpent man landed, he stood on his feet and tilted his head to one side. "How amusing... You haven't learned your lesson yet, and here you are...forcing the past to repeat itself once more... hmhmhmhmhmhm...hahahahahahahahhah...!~ HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! YOU ARE ALL FOOLS!" He laughed manically, with his head up toward the sky and shut lids. He turned around, rose his hands toward the water nearby and twirled halfway. Water from behind him flew with his arms, now being connected to them and raced after the Chairman.
The moment the said man stood up, he looked terrible but didn't appear fazed. He looked up to his opponent and the second he had, he seen water rush to him and had just barely missed him...if he didn't of move in time. Hearing the water hit something, he turned to view it and it was a corpse that was...sizzling? "Acidic water... He can make the water acidic?!" He mentally asked, surprised that he just learned of that. Hearing rushing water once more, he knew he had to steer clear of that liquid...
He raced after the scientist after dodging the water, hands still clapped together and jumped away from the water each time it'd come after him. Once he got close enough to Vince, he made his Buddha rapidly strike at him and pound him into the ground. He didn't stop and kept up the punches. Deeper and deeper the hole got, as the serpent got hit into the ground. Unbeknownst to the elder, we was actually making a hole into the island. He stopped peered down into the hole and waited for any signs of that monster to show, preparing for any sudden attack.
Nothing happened, he waited for a good five minutes... Dropping his guard, he began to pace toward the others and sighed in the process. His Buddha disappeared, when his eyes closed and opened them back up to view his allies. During that instant, Vince popped up behind him and simultaneously swung the side of his hand, striking Netero's neck. That his only managed to knock the old man out and have him fall face first, into the ground.
"SIR NETERO!" Shifter shouted, racing to the elder. Out of the blue, Vince's red aura arm shot out and gut punched Harris. He got sent flying the opposite direction he ran in, crashing into a boat. Ruby watched, frozen at the sight of the scientist but..once she seen Netero pass out and Harris crash into that boat... She got pissed...
Not only pissed, tears streamed down her face and she ran at the serpent man, screaming a battle cry. Forming her crystal shield, she flew right after him now and coated her rapier in white electricity. Hisoka rushed after him too, Illumi sat Rui down and did the same, while Sikiyona and Chonz followed suit. "Let's go dear, we don't want our son and your aunt dying by this man!~" Kikyo mused, rushing into the fight next. Silva squinted his lids and nodded, tailing his wife not long after. His grandfather joined them all as well, everyone was now fighting Vince all at once.
"It is quite unwise...for you all to attack at once, it'll only quicken your deaths..." Bodoudai muttered, grinning at the 'fools' who ambushed him. He was dodging nearly every hit, only this time...from afar, Hisoka took a stance, formed that slingshot replica, put a card in place and pulled it back. He took aim and just when a clear opening came into view, he shot it out.
The pressure o his shot made chunks of the ground rip upward, form long crack and struck Vince clear in ear. Unfortunately that only made his head move and not his body. Illumi shot out his pins, striking him on his forehead at the same time when the card hit him. Blood trickled down his ear and forehead, though still appeared unfazed... Slowly, he rolled his gaze over to the Joker and smiled; Soon vanishing out of sight, he appeared in front of Illumi and thrust an aura arm through his...stomach...and came out the other side. "Such easy prey...at least your remains will be my...feast...~" He mused darkly, only to get hit by an three enraged Zoldycks. ( Don't worry! There's a surprise for you all, when it's Ruby's turn to fight :P! Let's just say 'they' ehem...won't be dead for long. Brace yourself, your hearts 'will' sink but only for a short time! DON'T HATE ME T^T!) "HOW DARE YOU KILL OUR SON!" Kikyo screamed, as she swung at him. Silva was roaring out in furry while Zeno looked beyond pissed, striking at the mad scientist.
"Kikyo, Silva, move! Your in the way of!-" Zeno was about to finish...when Vince jumped out of the way, laughing and pulling acidic water up with him. The liquid gushed, almost touching Illumi's parents. All of a sudden, that acidic water froze over by white ice, saving the two Zoldycks. "No one...endangers my family..." Sikiyona was for once, beyond angry... Her emotionless frosted slits, appeared fierce and strict. She flashed out of view, got real close to Vince's face...who was up in the air, and swung her scythe. He caught it of course and held it in place, only to have Cold Chill take a small bite off the end of her iced pole and hold it in her mouth. She blew out a coned blizzard and engulfed the red serpent in freezing snow. They both fell, with her still blowing directly in his face. Just when his grip loosened, she slammed the end of her scythe and made the whole area get coated in a sheet of white frost. That caught Vince in it, sealing him in a thick layer of glace. She stood up, went to twirl once and swing her blade out..but the ice broke before she could and got jabbed in the rib by his claws.
She stood there, eyes wide and couldn't breath. Her mouth was barely open and couldn't even utter a word... "Hmhmhm...my little Sikiyona...how...disappointing..." He mumbled, grinning at her now falling form. She laid there, slowly dieing and panting slightly. "I'll let you live, since you 'did' work for me...once... A nice and slow death will be your reward, you may join Servine shortly." He spoke, now bringing his attention to the rest of the group.
With each passing minute, Vince fought the infuriated group. Ruby ran to him once more while his back was to her, charging her blade coated with lightning. She was losing more and more nen as she fought. Tears ran down her cheeks, the more she watched everyone get killed...first it was Illumi..then it was Sikiyona, who was granted a slow, out bleeding death... Now, it was Kikyo... The moment she thrust her blade forward, he moved and killed the Zoldyck woman...dodging Ruby's weapon while doing so.
Silva's heart stopped, watching his own wife fall to the ground in slow motion. The sound of his heart beating and his hard breathing, was the only thing heard. She was dead...blood pooled around her form and puddled. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed out, rushed to the scientist and used his emission technique, shooting out his destructive large spheres rapidly. For once in along time, he was crying and throwing his attacks at the scientist, left and right. "My wife.. MY WIFE! HE KILLED MY WIFE AND SON!" He screamed mentally, as he attacked.
Vince was evading nearly every one of his explosive emission balls, jumping slightly off the ground, doing cartwheels with his aura arms spinning with him and nearly getting close to Silva. Once he head, he came face to face with him and struck his clawed hand at his face; Only having it miss when the Zoldyck dodged. The moment he dodged, he went to punch him square in Vince's face, connecting with it successfully. That had sent him flying and soaring through the air, soon landing in the ocean.
He was gone now, deep in the ocean depths...or so they thought. Silva scanned his view over to his wife and son, then to Chonz who was badly hurt and panting. Next he viewed Zeno, who appeared just as bad off as Chonz, then to Sikiyona...his grandmother...oddly enough.. Seeing Netero still out cold, his fists tightened and eyes closed.
"Silva!" He turned to face the voice, it was Ruby. She was overly angry, her orbs squinted fiercely with heavy tears and teeth clamped into view. She rose her blade, readied her shield and gazed at him dangerously. "KEEP EVERYONE SAFE, I'LL HOLD HIM OFF AS LONG AS I CAN, FOR YOU TO RECOVER! HISOKA, DON'T BLIDNINGLY ATTACK THE VINCE, WAIT FOR AN OPENING AND STRIKE! I DON'T CARE IF HE HURTS ME, JUST MAKE SURE YOU STRIKE HIM IN THE HEART!" She yelled out, having the said man nod and rush over to the remaining others. He was so pissed but, knew if he had to do it so he could recover and keep everyone else safe. Hisoka stood in the sidelines, he too was angry that his friend got kiled. Illumi was a great friend of his...
Zeno, Chonz, Silva, Ruby and Hisoka were the only ones remaining...aside from Netero and Rui, ho were still unconscious.
She waited... Keeping her eyes on the water, she waited... Tears staining her face but, she had to be strong and not break down. She rose her shield, protecting her of any kind of attack that may race after her.
(Play 'Nomad by Audiomachine' (Brutal mix) on youtube. It's Vince's character theme~) She was right, water rushed after her from the shoreline and in midst of it was Vince. He jumped into the air grinning, then twirled vertically before landing. Dripping wet, his clothes as damp as before when he last landed in the water. Once she rose her shield, she blocked the water and knelt down. He stood in the middle of the rushing liquid, getting engulfed by it as well. Inside the water, he shot out an aura arm and struck her shield, forcing her backwards with great strength. When the water died down, it was only a second before he punted her shield once more with his other clawed and webbed hand. He sent her flying though through the air, then she caught herself with her wings and fluttered.
"Silly girl...do you honestly believe you...a 'child' could beat me...?~" He mused, with his crimson orbs watching her hovering form. "You bastard...!" She spoke, more tears streaming down. He only smirked at her but, when she dismissed her shield she performed her coned, white electrical blast. She brushed her free palm across her blade and channeled her attack. "Thine light which held within the sword of spells... DISPERSE A VERTICAL RADIUS, OF PALLID JOLTS!" She shouted, right before thrusting her rapier forward and shooting out her wide ranged attack. It caught him off guard and made him widen his lids in surprise. It caught him, sending him back into the water a long ways away and having the vertical blast, scrape against the surface of the water.
Soon a tidal wave rose, catching her and sending her down to the island. With the wave, he rushed after laughing a bit and shooting an arm out to push her down faster. That caused another quake and crater to appear; Though when he sent her into the earth and landed just above her, she slammed her free palm on the ground and made white ice coat it. He looked around at the view, seeing how familiar it is compared to Sikiyona's attack.. "How sad...you even chose to use one of Sikiyona's moves, to hit me..." He said, only to have her smirk and stare at him. He narrowed his lids but, they widened once he felt a pierce in his chest. Hisoka...he used that slingshot skill once more and actually managed to hit him. It was through hit chest and almost to his heart.
He gazed down at it, a bit stunned at the thought, that someone managed to damage him greatly. Rolling his yes up, he noticed that the Joker stood above the old fissure he made, when fighting Netero. He smirked, jerked the card out and made himself bleed harshly. He stomped onto Ruby's head heavily, making it turned and emit a pained grunt.
"Let go of my dear birdie..." He dangerously spoke, while getting out more cards. He was about to walk forward, when he seen Vince do an air uppercut with his bare hand. His eyes widened, looked down and suddenly got engulfed by water...not just ordinary water...acidic water...that Vince turned it into.
"You and I are both the same, Ruby...did you know that...?" He looked down, lifted her foot up and as soon as her head got free, she jerked it towards Hisoka in panic. After the water died down...her pupils shrunk and more tears formed... His skin was melted and he stood there frozen. The sound of sizzling echoed through her ears, as she watched him slowly fall to the ground. "Hisoka..." She uttered mentally. "Hisoka...!" She said once more, each time watching him fall. "HISOKA!" She screamed out, wide orbs growing more devastated.
"We are both...specialists... you would have been one of my most powerful inventions yet... Though here you are, fighting against me and refusing to join my side..." He said, once again planting his foot on her head and slamming her into the surface. Tears fell more, shadow masked her lids and teeth clenched into view. She rose her sword, using what nen she had left and performed her last coned attack, shakily holding it up. Thine light which held within the sword of spells... Disperse a vertical radius...of p-pallid...jolts...!" She managed to say, in between wavering breaths. A cone of her attack shot out and sent him flying again...back into the water.
Her rose to her feat, shaking while doing so and panted. She nearly fell though, if she hadn't pierced her sword in front to use as a prop. She fell on one knee, shut her eyes to gather more strength hand waited...
Out in the water, the scientist floated deep in the depths. His red hair and coat softly waved, while he faced upward. "She is quite strong for such a child... Too bad...I too am at my limits, so I require more power... This is the first time I had ever, needed to use this..." He mentally spoke, took out a syringe and stuck himself with it. "Now that I'm in water, this should work perfectly.~" He said once more in his head.
The scene shown Ruby in the same position, then stood up and gradually walked over to the shore edge. She stood there, wondering why it was taking so long for him to show. She froze...at the sight before her... One eye closed and the other one open, she gasped at what was happening...
(Play: 'Phalanx by Audiomachine' (Brutal mix)! Its his trans. Theme~) A whirlpool swirled in the ocean, growing bigger and bigger. She stepped back, slightly shaking at the view. It took a few seconds, until a gigantic webbed and clawed hand gripped onto the ocean's edge. His grab made the whole ground shake and her stumble, then fall to her butt. Her irises grew wide, mouth dropped and watched as a giant head slowly rose from the water. She scrambled to her feat, tried to get away but only got swiped off her feet and flew against a large rock. In midst of the pink and red sunrise, a huge foot landed on the ground, soon the other one. His appearance changed...he was big. He had a long tail, fins on his back, feet, elbows, ears, head and looked to be fused with a red sea serpent (Look it up, it actually looks pretty cool! It's the first image on google, that loads on the left side~)
Each step he took, the ground rumbled. He picked her up with a single hand, tossed her into the water and vanished. She splashed harshly into the ocean, trying desperately to swim up...only to fail in the end. She got grabbed by a large hand and chucked out of the water, across the island and into a large amount of trees. She'd go through tree after tree, breaking them and blooding her body up. The last tree she smashed into, stopped her acceleration and horizontally hit her back. "GAAA-AAH!" Her lids widened at the pain, then slowly slid down the base of the tree. Her weapon dropped, vision blurred and watched at the monster himself stomped his way over. Grinning at her small frame, his fists were clenched and his tail swung left to right as he paced. Tears went down her blurry sight but, found the strength to stand. (song ends here :D )
Once she stood up, she knelt down like before, leaned her weight on her blade and lowered her head. "God...Please..." She spoke in her head,with shaky breaths. "Help me...help us... I-...I need more strength...more power... Please! This man...this...MONSTER! HE NEEDS STOPPED! HE KILLED NEARLY EVERYONE AND I DON'T WANT TO STAND BY AND WATCH! I gotta do something...anything...to save them... Please...I beg of you...please save-" Before she got to finish, a strong and mature voice echoed in her head... A voice that she had not heard before. It was gentle but serious, comforting yet fierce... Her lids shot open at the voice, questioning who it was.
"Ruby..." The man spoke in her head, making time itself feel like it froze over. "Ruby do not fear... I have asked for permission, to lend you partial of my power..." The man's voice sounded sincere, confident and..worry free... As if he knew, that she was going to ask for help.
"W-..What...?" she asked, stunned at those words. "What do you mean? Who are you?" She mentally asked, too stunned to move at the moment.
"I am...Micheal. God as given me permission to grant you partial of my power...just...for this moment. My father understands your struggle, understands that man kind is in danger and is willing to help you. This man you are fighting, is not who you think he is... He has turned into a demon after mutating himself, much like Saurus Kane. He is no longer human, Ruby...and since he is not a human, but a demon; I have asked permission to lend you some of my power, so that you may be rid of him..." He answered, soon a golden figure appearing in front of her kneeling form. She rose her head, jaw dropped more and gawked at the holy sight. The glowing figure rose a hand, making her shut her lids and have tears stroll down.
"Thank you... I will slay this demon in god's name...and to save everyone... This power...will not be in vain..." She muttered, gulping down to try and restrain her tears. She gripped her hilt tighter, after hearing his voice once more.
"Remember... This will be the only time, I will ever grant you this power...After he has been slain, you will no longer hold this new...transformation...and can never use it again." He spoke, seeing her nod in understanding. He flexed his golden fingers out wider, her body glowed and time began to speed back up. "Before he fully vanished, he spoke his last words. "You will become...an Arch-Angel, only for just this moment..." Then he was gone, making her sit there in the same position as before.
"Yee who watches in the heavens... Lend me strength so this demon shall fall... (Play 'Varien- The scarlet dawn by Monstercat' On youtube :D! Personally I've been waiting for this awesome moment... It actually makes my heart move when I hear it and imagine it with her.) She sat there, with wounds healed, no more tears and a strict look in her features. Having moments pass by until she rose her head and opened her eyes... They glowed white, brightly shinning with her sword. Golden light dispersed from her blade, taking up a large sphere form and emitting a soft, white aura outside of it. The white aura engulfed everyone who had died and who were wounded, healing them and bringing them back to life.
(Sorry that this description is long, I made the pic and I'm describing the best I can. You may pause the music if you'd like, until the whole' describing is done XD) Vince took a step back, shielding his eyes from the light. Peeking to view the said woman, who wasn't even visible in midst of the bright, golden sphere. Inside the sphere, a black shadow in the shape of a sword, moved beautifully and slowly across the scene. Then again it moved, this time swiping away the aura and showing her new form. She had a bright yellow attire on; A tight body suit with glowing white lines down her front highs, arms, legs, down the middle of her heelless boots, and across her pelvis. Over the top part of her tight, one body suit was a the same colored dress. Just like her previous white one, only it had three tail ends that wavered behind her. Her wings were thinner and looked more angelic, lacked armor, no sleeves on her dress and her sword...was pure gleaming white. The top of the sword was flared out on the side, shaping into three points like wings. It had a glistening, golden lining going down in the middle, while the handle was golden as well. The hilt extended up past her grip and took the form of a long golden cross. Her hair was pure white but, longer... Her bangs appeared swept back and long hair pushed behind her ears, only to have them kiss her chest.
Her hawk nose and dark red lips remained... She looked fierce, her lips parted and shown clenched teeth...she looked holy...
She got in her stance, brushed her palm against her blade and jerked it forward...it was much quicker than before. Her attack was wider, harsher and engulfed a much larger amount of land. "WHAAAT?!" He said then rose his forearms to block it, but he got hit anyway. She held it out, grunting from the pressure, then struggled to move her free hand. She manged to grip the hilt with both hands and doing so, the attack grew stronger. It got even bigger and pushed her back a few inches, making her shut one eye.
Stopping, she swiped her sword out and made the electrical cone disappear. In front view, she began walking toward Vince, the three tail ends of her dress, her long and beautiful white hair flailed with the force. She kept her blade outside ways, walking with a clenched fist and clamped teeth. Raising her fist off to the other side, she sprawled her angelic wings out and formed her shield.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! HOW DID YOU GAIN SUCH POWER LIEK THIS?!" He screamed out, not in shock..but fear... He watched her walk calmly, then vanished when a bright white light outburst from her sword. She was gone, she teleported and reappeared above the man. As she dived down with her wings, she prepared her shield and bashed his head in monstrously. He fell to the ground face first, with her standing on top.
She was about to stab her blade into his overgrown head, until his tail wrapped around her and tossed her harshly aside. She was sent flying across the land, stabbing her blade into the earth and stopped herself from the force. "IN GOD'S NAME, I WILL KILL YOU AND SAVE EVERYONE FROM THEIR DEATHS!" She shouted strongly, then began swinging her sword to shoot out waves of light rapidly. She ran at him, still shooting out those waves.
Everyone in the sidelines watched in shock, now fully revived by her momentary power. Once ruby got close enough during her swings, she vanished again and reappeared in his face, cutting his eyes. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed out, shielding his orbs due to the agony. She appeared on top his head next, soon accompanied by his tail...which got sliced in half after it reached for her. He cried out again, especially after she just stabbed her blade in his head. "Don't fail me now! I need to use this new skill!" She mentally shouted, gritting her teeth in the process. "Thine light which held within the sword of spells... DISPERSE A VERTICAL RADIUS, OF PALLID JOLTS!" She yelled out strongly, having the sword glow and disperse once more...only this time... It took shape of a sphere and expanded larger, masking the area widely and a lot of the land. It nearly reached the others but, luckily it didn't. All was heard...were the cries of pain from the monster himself...
It engulfed her and the beast, paining them both. She didn't scream...she accepted her fate, just so she could save everyone. Once the sphere of white electricity ceased, a crisp sea monster stood tall with white eyes...he was dead...(Song ends here~ :D )
(I nearly cried at writing this part! BUT HANG IN THERE, THERE'S ANOTHER URPRISE :D!) There she laid, on top of his dead head and unmoving... Her blade remained stuck in his skull, which soon fell with his body and made a quake. She fell off him, body back to normal, along with her sword and the blade too, fell out then landed next to her.
"Ruby...chan..." Rui whispered, her voice wavered as if wanting to cry... A tear began to roll down her face, watching her aura around her body...deplete... "N-N-Ne...san...?"She asked, then ran to her twin. "NEEEEE-SAAAAAAAAN!" She yelled once more...not even a stir...
Everyone was in too much of a shock to even move...except Hisoka and Illumi. Silva was in shock too, his own wife, son and Aunt got revived...by her power... A single tear rolled down his face, silently watching the scene.
When Rui arrived to her twin's side, she got on her knees and panicked. "Ne-san, Nee-san! ONEEEE-SAAAAAAAN!" She screamed. She knew it...she knew, she was dead... Rui hiccuped in between cries, trying to shake her awake and hoped she would... Nothing...still no movement from Ruby...
Hisoka towered over her form, devastation in his yellow irises. He feel to his knees, his face unchanged and his attention glued to her dead frame... She lost life in her skin... He leaned down, lifted her in his arms and placed his forehead on hers. His now wet hair, dangled past his face, hiding his silent pained features." Ruby...gem..." He muttered quietly, holding her lifeless body tighter. "She sacrificed herself, so we may live..." He heard Netero speak, then rose his head to peer at the elder. All of the 'use to be' dead' soldiers, gathered around and viewed at their savor. Some cried, some had silent tears, others had stoic features and pained ones.
"N-N-Nee...saaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaan!" She cried out, aimed for Illumi's chest and cried heavily. She didn't want this...she didn't want that to happen to her...her twin... Illumi held her close, his black gaze unfazed by the situation.
The scene changed, showing a floating Ruby hovering upward towards heaven. Her lids slowly opened, only to view a beautiful golden and white scene. Angels, a golden gate and...that same golden figure stood before her. Michael waited, watching her float towards the clouds. Her mind was blank, content then soon came to realization...she was going to heaven... The thoughts of Hisoka came to mind, then her twin...and everyone else...
"No...not yet..." She stopped floating, her voice was tender and deep...content...
"What is it, Ruby?" It wasn't Michael's voice this time, it was that faint murmur she had heard before...God... It made her wonder though, who was that woman's voice from before then...?
"I... Don't want to go yet... They need me... Rui, Illumi, Hisoka...everyone..." She paused, with Hisoka's name echoing through her mind. "Hisoka...I... Love him..." She murmured mentally, shutting her peers in the process. "I wish to be with them...all of them... To protect them...to make them happy...and...to save...Hisoka...from himself... I know what kin of man he is...and I love him...please... May I have a second chance...?" She asked, in hopes of having that opportunity. She had a long and beautiful white dress, her four wings sprawled out and her brown hair floating gracefully.
"Very well... You will have this second chance at life, spend it wisely. Next time you do pass on, it shall be your last. One that day, I will welcome you home with open arms, you've earned the right." That voice, God's voice replied to her and made her break down into tears of joy. She opened her lids once more, a grateful smile formed and her eyes squinted, whilst tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Thank you... Thank you so much... I will never forget this and be forever grateful. Thank you...I will see you soon, God... And when I do, I will happily accept, with no regrets." She spoke, nearly crying her heart out from sheer joy.
The scene changed once again, showing Hisoka still holding her and Rui crying. Being unknown to them all, only the soldiers noticed and pointed it out. "Her skin color's returning!" One of them spoke, soon the another. "She twitched!" that caught Hisoka's attention and everyone else...she came back to life.
The joker rose his head to view her, the color in her skin 'did' return. Next thing he knew, her golden hawk orbs opened and met with his. He froze, only she could see his pained face. "Ruby...?" He managed to asked, when suddenly... She rose her head slowly, shutting her lids and kissed him. He stood still for a bit, shocked and felt her warm lips on his. It was long and lasting kiss, a nice and loving one. He closed his eyes in content, happy to know she came back.
After a bit, she laid her head back down, tears staining her cheeks and smiled happily. "I love you...Hisoka..." Those words came out naturally, making music to his ears. He smiled not his signature grin...but a loving one, that is rarely ever seen.
"I've waited for a long time, to hear those words from you...with a full heart behind it.~" He said muscly, smiling at her with a faint flush on her cheeks.
NEE-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" Rui screeched, hugging her head and causing her twin to widen her eyes. "You were dead but, you came baaaaaack!" She yelled once more, lids shut and silly tears streaming.
"Yes, Rui... Are you alright? Is everyone safe?" She asked, making her twin smile warningly and move out of her way. She seen EVERYONE up, healthy and alive as could be. This made her tear up, silent tears rolled down her cheeks...she did it...
"YES! You saved us! You...saved us all...even man kind!" Rui spoke gleefully, with Illumi next to her. Her twin softly smiled, thanking God and Michael, for lending her power.

Time past and everyone was back to their everyday lives. Ruby was living with Hisoka as his new apartment, with Rui and Illumi visiting them both. "SERIOUSLY?!" Ruby shouted in question. She sat on the couch, in the living room. Her precious hawk sitting on its stand and and watching the scene. "you want to...go on another date...?" She asked, hesitance evident.
"Of course but, not just any date...a double date~. As promised, I shall show you the surprise!~ Only when the date is close to its end." Hisoka mused, smirking at her flustered state. The hawk twin nodded then looked over at Illumi, seeing him nod too. Rui's face was red and hearts flew above her head, making her raise a brow.
"I wonder what this surprise is!" Rui shouted, cupping her cheeks in awe.
"You will see soon enough, starting tomorrow morning, we leave!~" Hisoka announced. He paced over to Ruby, leaned over, pushed her back and kissed her. "For now..catch up on your sleep.~" She blushed heavily at the sight, then averted her eyes and nodded. He smiled at that, leaning up afterwords. "Good, rest for today and we'll spend all day tomorrow enjoying ourselves.~" In the background, there hung a sign of her and everyone's heroism... A golden ribbon that said, 'To our world's saviors and our Arch-Angel.'
