CHAPTER 2: 完全な憎悪 (Perfect Hatred)

Amar Ma'aruf's ROTT deathmatch with Chachazero ended up with the hanyou as the winner. The small marionette was irked as Amar often ambushed her from out of nowhere. However, she gave the copy to Amar for free.

It was a simple yet speedy battle between the two.

"You beat me in Doom, now I beat you in ROTT."

"Well, looks like you'd won, Amar."

"Oh, it's you, Eva."

"What's up? You just got the rarest game in Malaysia and you're still not happy?"

"It's not that." Amar said while looking up to Eva. "I think something was out of place."

"?"

Amar was surprised when the chibi vampire had a confused expression.

"What's wrong, Eva?" Amar asked in a concerned tone.

"Chris told me the same thing too. Something was off." Eva then turned to her Magistra Magi. "I'd think you should have a rest."

"Where's Chris?"

"He'd probably down at the quarters, carving some Z's in the air." Chachazero said.

"Okay Zakuro, Momomiya, its time to pack up and sleep." The hanyou said to his mobile persocoms.

The two didn't say a thing as they only nodded and they packed up Amar's laptop. Not a minute later Amar Ma'aruf was off to sleep.

-Outside Eva's Resort-

"Looks like everything goes to plan." A shrouded figure said. "Master Camilla, everything's clear."

Camilla came out from the bushes and she landed in front of the resort's door. She opened the door quietly, and then she entered the resthouse.

"Now where is that thing?" Camilla wondered aloud. "Ah, here it is."

"Is that a resort?"

"Likely so."

"I had read that resorts like this require you to stay up to 24 hours before you can leave." She said. "How can we bypass that?"

"I'm a witch, Laura. That would be no problem."

Inside, Chris had already awaked by accident. He was really tired, as he'd only slept for a mere five hours. After he drank some cold milk, the vampire hunter walked up to Eva's Resort plaza, carrying a wooden staff, his Vampire Killer and his standard subweapons. As he's halfway there, Amar called him.

"Hey, what're you doing, Chris?"

"I can't sleep. Something was really bothering me." He said. "Gosh, I really need some sleep…"

"Same here. I can't take my mind off the recent win over Chachazero." Amar remarked.

"Should we check out the plaza?"

"Let's go."

The two partners then made their move to the plaza, located just in front of the bridge to the Transport Gate. While the two walked, both Amar and Chris started chatting about random topics. They reached the plaza later to find that the gate was shining – a sign that someone is coming in the resort. But, the question is, who is it? Both Amar and Chris had left at 10 in the evening and they had stayed two days in the resort.

Who would be coming at midnight hours like this?

That question which was lingering in Chris' mind was answered when Amar gave the recent news report.

"Um, Chris…"

"What?"

"It's Eva's twin's scent… Camilla!"

"What?!" Chris spoke in a half-yelling tone. "How can she break the spell?"

"Beats me."

"Well, if she's here, she meant business with either us or Evangeline." Chris calmed his voice. "I'd think that she had learnt her lesson a bit last year and she got herself a Ministra Magi before she's here." He sighed. "This means we're in a little trouble."

As Camilla materialized from the glowing gate, she looked around. Laura spotted the boys hiding, and she cast a spell.

"Amar! Cast the Salamander spell! Camilla's partner is going to cast an ice spell from the looks of it!"

"I'm on it." He said, pulling his Summoning Tome from the void. "Salamander der flammenden Sonne, rufe ich weiter Sie auf! Entstehen Sie und besiegen Sie die Inkarnation des Übels!"

"Barricade."

An invisible wall formed between the two and it blocked the Salamander spell effectively. Amar and Chris jumped out from their hiding, facing their old enemy.

"Oh, hello boys. Looks like you're all set to welcome me."

"Enough chit-chat. Get straight to the point: what're you up to this time?"

Camilla smiled. "It's the old business, Belmont. I want to finish off where we left off. But right now, I had no time to play around, so we'll be off, raising hell." Camilla then glanced to Laura over her shoulders. "Let's go."

Laura nodded, getting nearer to Camilla. The vampire chanted something and suddenly, the gate was opened. Camilla gave a wave of goodbye before she disappeared, leaving the boys confused.

"What the heck? The gate… she had just bypassed it!"

"We need to do something!"

"Belmont! Amar!"

"Eva! Chacahamaru!"

"We heard the commotion, so we came here to check." Eva said. "What's going on?"

"Camilla's back. What's more, she's going to wreak havoc in the world once again."

"We'd better chase her."

The three quickly reached the resort's gate, teleporting out from the resort and back into Evangeline's log cabin. When they were out, a storm was brewing outside the cabin.

"That's strange. I don't know they had heavy showers in midnight."

"The wind's not natural. I can feel that this rain was the work of magic." The young archimage said. "Eva, we're we need to go to the shrine now. I was worried about Sherry-nee-chan and Resha-nee-chan."

"Okay."

Amar pulled out a bookmark from his spellbook and declared "Yamato Shrine!".

-YAMATO SHRINE-

When they reached there, the shrine was extremely quiet. Although the lights were all on, Amar could not hear any voice either from Arikado, Mokona or the twins. Instead, Camilla's scent lingers around the shrine. Her magic aura also floods around the shrine, making Amar Ma'aruf even worried.

"..."

"What're doing with that gun?" Eva asked.

"Safety precaution." Amar replied, holding the P228's magazine in his left hand. "I can't cast a spell fast enough in an ambush, so I need to compress it in forms like a bullet to ease mobility."

Smart thinking. Eva praised silently.

"Let's go, Chris."

"Right behind you." Chris said, following Amar Maaruf's command, this time, he's using a real HK USP.

A/N: That really took a long time for placing a second chapter. Sorry for the wait, but I was busy with the translations and stuff. Yahoo Babel Fish was a REALLY useful tool, heh. Well, that's it for now… read on and review, 'kay?
