Chapter 6

The two Diclonius stood back to back, ready for anything. Darkness was falling faster than it normally was. Dusk wrapped around the sky like a blanket and covered the atmosphere like a thick sheet. The only visible thing was the moon and the ground beneath their feet. Their vectors, which were invisible to the human eye, came out of the body but stayed close to their master's body just in case. Then in the blink of an eye…she appeared!

Lucy POV

There she is! A black silhouette jumped up and head for us. I dodged her blow and using my vectors, sprang upward into the sky, which made me look like I was flying, and ran in back of her. She heads for Akeno but he punches her straight in the jaw. Nice punch! He didn't even use his vectors.

One of her vectors, I didn't suspect it would, grabbed my neck as she attack Akeno and started to choke me or…try to at least. I struggled against it and then bite down hard on it. Her vectors…became more visible than they were already and then turned to a chalky white color in my mouth. What's happening?

Akeno POV

I punched the Sipilet in her jaw, although I could not see her face, but then suddenly, I caught a glimpse of Lucy on the other side. She was being choked by the Sipilet's vectors but then she bite it and then the vector became solid. What the…what's going on here?

"Lucy!"

She didn't hear me and I ducked down as the Sipilet threw another punch my way. She bears the aura of a Diclonius…but does not have the scent of one nor…the vector structure of one. I don't understand any of this.

Don't come to me with your questions. I'm just as confused as you are. Just kill her already!

Great, when I actually need you to tell me what to do you have no idea what the hell is going on.

You're the weirdo relying on talking voices in your head. It's not my fault you are so queer.

You're so useless.

If you killed her like I just told you, you wouldn't have a problem now would you?

Fine. I'll do this on my own then.

"Lucy," I called out to her again. "There's something weird about this one!"

"Tell me something I don't know," She yelled back and bite down on the vector again. It then broke into a million pieces and the Sipilet screamed, throwing her head back, and falling to the ground. Lucy skidded over to me and stooped down, picking up a piece of the broken vector and crushing it within her hand, turning it to nothing but pure dust.

Impossible.

Shhhh.

"I think she was a fake," Lucy thought out loud.

"I do too but who would make a Diclonius?"

"I don't think it's the lab," Lucy got up. "They hate us."

"Maybe they want to try something new," I said, "you never know. Those scientists never give up you know."

Lucy looked at me for a second and then turned her head, not looking at me. "You met me for a reason, not for love, but for something else. You want me for something. What is it?"

She knew all along…

That I came here for her for something…

"Okay," I sigh. "I need your help."

"With what?"

"I need to kill Ikuto Osaka."

"Who's that," Lucy asks, her face going pale.

"Your father."
