Chapter 16 Search for the Twins! Have a Weird Trip Through the NeverNever?
Both the Ishida twins and the Wraithe twins returned to Chicago a few days later and got back to the house that Madrigal and Madeline lived in. They placed the passed out Ryonosuke on one of the beds in one of the rooms and handcuffed him to the bedposts so he wouldn't escape from the house. Then Kyosuke, Madrigal, and Madeline went into the foyer and had a toast for the victory they gained at the DWMA. After a few sips, Kyosuke looked at Kyosuke, who was drinking a soda.
"So Kyo, how does it feel to feed on fear?" he asked.
"It feels good, I don't feel like I have to feed on that stupid emotion of lust anymore." He answered.
"Good, I am glad to hear that you enjoy it." Madrigal said.
"Since we have Kyo on fear so far, how about Ryo?" Madeline asked.
"We will have Kyo try and get him to feed on fear and if it doesn't work out there is another way he can make him." Madrigal answered.
"Hmm?" Kyo asked.
Madrigal took out the small case he had with the black blood and then took out a syringe from the desk. They watched him take some of the blood into it and capped the needle.
He walked over to Kyosuke and handed it to him.
"What is this?" he asked.
"It's the black blood that I tried to get into him." Madrigal answered.
"If you can't convince your brother to feed off of fear, inject him with that blood and his insanity will drive him to it." Madeline said.
Kyosuke nodded.
"Now, let's work on a new look for you." Madeline said.
She snapped her fingers and stylists appeared and started to work on him.
Back at the DWMA, Maka finished up studying in the library and headed out and noticed that the usual hang outs that Harry's students usually go to were empty. She sighed and got back to her and Soul's apartment.
"Welcome back." Soul said.
"I'm guessing you missed our study session so you can hang out here?" Maka asked a bit angrily.
"No, me and Black Star were trying to find Harry's class so they would join us but we had no luck with that." He answered.
"I couldn't find them either." She said.
"Where could they have gone to?" Soul asked.
"I'm not sure, ever since the Ishida brothers left with the Wraithe twins nothing has been the same." She answered.
"Thinking about what had happened to Kyosuke makes me worry though."
"What do you mean?"
"What if Ryo ends up feeding on fear again, will that mean he can't be saved from it and not be able to change into a Death Scythe?"
"I don't know but I am hoping that doesn't happen since he worked so hard in gathering souls to help with that."
"I do too."
"Hopefully Blood Fang will try and find a way of getting to them and when that happens we'll be there like we always been."
Soul nodded.
Meanwhile, Harry, Molly, and Thomas were working hard on trying to find a passage back to Chicago through the NeverNever. They were working on it ever since Justine gave them the information about the flight that was taken back there by the pairs of twins. After a while, Lara, Natalia, and Elisa came into the room.
"Anything yet?" Lara asked.
"Nothing yet, the NeverNever is not easy to find a way back to somewhere so far away." Harry answered.
"We were lucky to get here and landed in Dr. Stein's classroom." Molly said.
"That was when we were coming from Austria where the Ishida brothers were going against Vlad." Thomas said.
"That was from finding the way very easily." Harry said.
"Is there another way?" Natalia asked.
"There is but it might be a risk in asking her." Harry answered.
"You're not tlking about her." Thomas said.
"Excuse me?" Elisa asked.
"My fairy godmother, she can probably help us get back towards Chicago and it looks like we need Crescent Moon with us as well." Harry answered.
"Why them?" Lara asked.
"You won't believe us when we tell you this but they are being taught by a top meister from here and he has the stitches to prove it." Harry answered.
"I guess if we're going to talk to Dr. Stein, we have to teach him the rules of Faerie." Thomas said.
Harry nodded.
They all went to find Dr. Stein where they explained to him about everything and the plans. They also made sure that he mentioned it to the four meister teams, Maka and Soul, Chrona and Ragnarok, The Thompsons and Kid, and Black Star and Tsubaki, about what will be happening within the next few days. They even made sure that the three Wraithe sisters Justine, and Deathscythe were there as well.
"Never thought we had to be taught about the world of fairies." Liz said.
"According to Harry, it is a dangerous place and we don't know what will be expected when we start to travel through it." Tsubaki said.
"I guess we better try and find iron stuff to keep us protected while on foot." Soul said.
"Hopefully we don't have to go through a slime bath when we get to Chicago." Soul said.
They went off to make some of the preparations.
Back in Chicago, Ryonosuke woke up and noticed his surroundings and tried to sit up but felt his wrists being tugged back. He looked up to see that he was handcuffed to the posts.
"Damn it." He grumbled.
"So, you're awake!" he heard and turned and saw his brother in an expensive looking outfit that had rips that were made by the manufacturer and his hair being shorter than before and slicked back. He also saw an eyebrow ring.
"Kyo?" he asked.
"Yeah, it's me."
"What did they do to you?"
"Gave me a new look for the new me, like it?"
"Usually you wouldn't go for stuff like that, hell you even make fun of the expensive stuff the Wraithes wear."
"Tht was the old me, this is the new me."
"I am starting to hate it, let me guess you came here to try to make me go back to my old days of fear cravings?" Ryonosuke asked.
"You got it."
"Sorry, but I prefer feeding off lust and I worked so hard to get back to it and I am not going back to the old days."
Kyosuke punched him and ryonosuke screamed in pain.
"What about now?"
"Never! I rather die than go back now!" Ryonosuke yelled.
"Very well." Kyosuke said and kept on beating him up until he passed out.
Ryonosuke was out cold from being beaten up.
Kyosuke smirked and said, "Since you refused, I am guessing I have no choice now."
He took out the syringe and went over to his passed out brother and found a vein and stuck the needle in and injected the black blood into him.
"Enjoy the insanity in your semi-coma."
He laughed and walked out of the room.
Back in Death City the next day, everyone was getting on iron pieces they found around especially chains to prevent the fairies from attacking them as they traveled. When they were done, they felt a chill and saw a woman wearing green appear.
"Who is this?" Soul asked.
"Everyone, this is my godmother Leia." Harry introduced.
Everyone else started laughing.
"Great, these guys don't get the idea of fairy godparents." Harry said.
"Remember Harry, this may exist in fairy tales to them." Molly reminded.
"Okay guys, it's time to get serious!" Harry yelled.
They stopped.
"You don't want to piss off Leia since she is a member of the winter court of Faerie." Harry said.
"Hmmm, I wouldn't mind, I would punish them by turning them into my little dogs." Leia said with a smile.
"Now, now, you shouldn't try to take possible test subjects from me." Dr. Stein said as he turned the bolt in his head.
"Which you don't want to." Deathscythe said and grabbed her hand. "Why not go off with me when this-"
Harry slapped his hand away and said, "You shouldn't do that, you would be making a favor and I discussed that earlier."
"Sorry." He said.
"So, shall we?" Lara asked.
"As you all know, we are traveling through the NeverNever through different passages with the help of Leia here, so stay close."
They all nodded.
Harry turned to Leia and nodded to her.
"Let's go." She said and opened the way that led into the world of Fairie, which they were surrounded by the beach that had the ocean that Harry, Thomas, and Molly swam through in order to get into Dr. Stein's class.
"Now I can see where you guys came into my classroom through." Dr. Stein said.
"Be glad I closed up the opening in time or your class would drown in ectoplasm." Harry said as he started walking.
Everyone else followed in pursuit. They walked through different areas with Leia as their guide and entered in different cities along the way. They even ended up along the snowy plains at some points and finally they reached Chicago at night.
"This is where I leave you for now." Leia said.
"Thanks godmother." Harry said.
They saw her vanish.
"Now that we're here, where to now?" Liz asked.
"To Madrigal's and Madeline's house of course." Miaka answered.
"Lead the way then." Deathscythe said.
They started to walk again until they were stopped by sirens and headlights.
"Shit!" Harry exclaimed.
"I don't know who you all are, but some of you look like you belong in a horror movie and not on the streets!" an officer exclaimed.
"Great, first the cousins get their hands on our friends and now we get arrested, what's next?' Jiro asked.
"Stay calm and no one will get hurt." Harry said.
He nodded.
Other police cars came and arrested them and took them to the police station.
Author's commentary
Hello everyone, sorry for the misspelling of Harry's godmother's name. Thing is I use a program with a screen reader in order to read the Dresden Files, so they don't really spell the names out. Also, I know it is kind of weird ending the chapter at a point where our heroes get arrested. Got to remember from Dresden Files, Chicago's police see really weird things and won't believe anything Harry would probably tell them. Why not also bring in Murphy by leading up to it with this? She will be in the next chapter so stay tuned for it. See ya!mm
