FATE 8: HUNT 3: The Red Gem

Arc 2: Enter The Labyrinth!

Chapter 7: The Death Droids! (Alchemist/Sadie) + Death Game begins!

Pairings: Falcom X Nodoka, Anri X Emma, Rika X Satoko, Julis X Stella.


"Can't believe we lost the prisoner!" Stella shouts as she gets into bed with Julis.

"It's alright. Once Emma returns? Falcom will have no where to run or hide. Once a prisoner, always a prisoner." Julis says and caresses her girlfriend. The two kiss and are in their bra and panties in bed together. The two cuddle.

"I know….and I can't wait to burn her alive." Stella says and pets Julis's head.

"Yeah. Poor Rika, I'm sure she wants to harm her."

"Hmmm. Let's rest now~ and hope Emma returns in the morning." Stella kisses Julis goodnight. The two sleep as everyone else does. Tomorrow begins the next death game! The Labyrinth!

Emma appears in Kaolinite's room. "It's time for another death game, madam Kaolinite." Emma says. Kaolinite wakes up and sits up. She smirks and the Red Gem sits on top of her staff and glows.

"Tomorrow night. We begin~" Kaolinite says.


The next morning…

Aoi Niigaki is standing before her Death Droids: Agent, Scarecrow, Executioner and Hunter. The final one has yet to be awakened. The current four are kneeling before their master, their queen.

"Go and enjoy yourself for today!" AOI orders them. Three of them leave. "Hunter? Go and fetch me Anri."

"Yes, master." Hunter goes to where Anri's body lays from last night. Hunter lifts her up and brings her back to AOI. Anri gets set down on a rock table. Hunter is dismissed for the day.

Anri wakes up. "Hmmm….huh? Where am I?" Anri sits up and looks around. "How did I end up in a cave?"

"Good morning." AOI steps out of the shadows and meets Anri.

"Who are you?" Anri asked.

"Your name is, Anri? My dear, tell me? What is it you're after?"

"….I'm not talking to you." Anri gets off of the table and walks past AOI. AOI is suddenly in front of her! "What the!? How did you!?"

AOI palms Anri's chest and she goes flying back into the rock table! "I have a few questions to ask you."

"Like hell I'll answer them!" Anri goes to punch AOI! Abri cannot move! She's frozen with fear! She's staring into the glowing eyes of AOI! "What….are you? I can't move!"

"Be a good girl now…." AOI snaps her fingers and the final android awakens, a long white haired golden eyes busty android. She's already a Strigoi Vampire. Her name is Alchemist. Alchemist steps infront of a frozen Anri. "She's all yours." AOI says and retreats to her tomb for a little nap.

The heroic bounty hunters group concluded their meeting. The group find some breakfast to eat… after this, the group will train for a while.

"Madam Kaolinite, it's good to see you awake." Rika bows to her. Satoko does as well.

"Unfortunately, the prisoner escaped." Satoko tells Kaolinite.

"And who was watching her?"

"I was." Rika says. Kaolinite orders Rika to stand. She does so and gets slapped in the face! "Ngnn!"

"Capture her again! Before the Death Game begins tonight. Rika Furude, Satoko Hojo do I make myself clear Rika and-" Kaolinite states, but Rika cuts her off.

"Madam? Julis and Stella also failed to cap-" Rika gets interrupted! ZAP! "AHHHHHHHH!" Rika screams in pain and falls to the floor.

"Do not interrupt me!" Kaolinite yells. "I want that prisoner here before I open the doors to the Labyrinth. Do you understand?"

"Yes madam!" Satoko gets up. "I'll tell the others." Satoko leaves the room. Rika slowly gets back up covered in burns. Rika gets a hold of her large knife that's strapped to her back….she resists though.

"Sorry, madam Kaolinite." Rika apologizes and pants.

"Get out. Before you make me do something you won't like." Kaolinite says with spite.

"Yes madam." Rika slowly exits Kaolinite's room.

Emma is looking for Anri. Where could she be? Emma is in the forest. She stops waking and closes her eyes and concentrates. She can sense Anri, nearby. "There you are!" Emma rushes into the cave.

"Anri!? Anri!" Emma calls out to her girlfriend, who is second in command of the evil bounty hunters group, their leader is a magician girl just like Darkia, but she's not around at the moment. Emma finds Anri….and she's horrified by what she sees. Anri is barely alive!

Anri is badly hurt. Her back has been whipped, she has a broken right hand, lacerated stomach and badly bruised legs. Her neck as two bite marks, she's been drained of blood. Her head has a gash on it too, one eye closed up and swollen. Emma rushes to her and helps her up to her feet. Anri can't even stand. "What happened to you!?"

"I…..was…." Anri can barely speak.

"Hello. I didn't think we have a guest~" AOI appears.

"You! You did this to her!" Emma yells.

"That I did~" AOI licks her lips. Anri passes out.

"You….you!" Emma is getting angry!

"Ahahahaha! She's weak! She didn't bother answering my questions on your precious Red Gem, so I had to punish her~" AOI giggles.

Emma puts her hand out and summons a dark portal! It has a gravity like pull! AOI starts to slowly get pulled into it. "Begone! You monster! You'll never see the light again!" Emma yells!

AOI gets sucked in, all while she's smiling ear to ear. The portal closes and Emma escapes the cave with a very badly injured Anri in her arms.

AOI is inside an endless dark void. She walks around and meets someone. "So…there's another me?" AOI meets MIO!

MIO is a human, android and vampire hybrid with four gems in her chest, each with their own strengths. The two come face to face.

"It's like looking in a mirror." Both say at the same time.

"I'm looking at me, right now. And I see you're powerful as me." MIO says.

"Same here. You're very powerful. I can sense it~" AOI responds. MIO notices the blue oval shaped gem in the chest of AOI.

"Are you a vampire like me?" MIO Smirks.

"That I am. I'm a special kind of vampire. I'm a Strigoi Vampire." AOI tells MIO.

"You are like me, only my past self. I once had a gem just like yours. And yet you're no robot. Me, I was a living breathing embodiment of perfection. Thousands of years of beauty and perfection, all to rule over everything. And then..."

A shot of a woman in dark plum hair slashing her in half, with a huge sword. MIO was screeching for her life, as her body engulfed in flames.

"They took everything away... All the powers, all the fate, and all my destiny..."

A huge man connected a powerful fist onto MIO's leg, as they clashed a punch and kick. MIO exploded into a gusher of blood.

"I was the almighty MIO... I would hold humanity in my hands, to create a perfect world. But everything changed. Destiny was written by me... But I, MIO, would not give up."

A man with spiky hair and a coat burned a diary away, and threw it on the ground.

"They took all of it away. The path to my righteousness and dominance was all burned away... by those that ended me. It was humanity that ended me... But I know in my undead heart, my essence lived forever."

"Interesting tale." AOI smirks. "Centuries ago, I was casted into exile by a ritual. These 5 mages of Ky sent me away into my own gem. I was turned into a corpse and hidden away. That is until a mere human awoke me from my slumber. Just one little drop of his blood was enough to break the seal and free me, The Magnificent AOI!"

MIO nods. "Hmm... Then my theory is correct. You live within me. You are destined for perfection. Just as how I perished, you are the newest model in the android vampire line. But you're just a mere vampire, only... You are special. You scoff at the sun. A true embodiment of perfection. I was right about you." MIO then shone from her gems. "And I know that my essence and my spirit lives on... in all of you, including you, creature."

"I was sent here by a very powerful girl. How annoying." AOI says.

"How annoying indeed." MIO nods. "Perhaps you want revenge. You are far powerful than that, my dear. Just like I have."

"I have plans for the apocalypse, once I get all three demonic artifacts. I shall destroy this world!" AOI says.

MIO responds, "We are alike. How profane that you failed at that girl. I suggest that you get started. For an apocalypse... One needs the three artifacts. But first... Go all out on the one that sent you here. NO human can erase you…. I await your goal." MIO applauds.

"Yes."

"Remember. We are gods! And gods don't die!" MIO says and vanishes.

"Perhaps we will meet again one day." AOI says and then the void tears apart!

AOI is freed. "So those two escaped? No matter." AOI smirks.

Anri is laying in bed as a force field is around her body. Red energy zaps her from the inside, healing her wounds. Kaolinite and Emma are standing nearby.

"Madam, Kaolinite? We have a vampire problem." Emma tells her.

"A vampire?"

"Yes. I sent her to a dark void, but I can sense she has escaped." Emma says.

Anri moans loudly in pain!

"I gave Rika. Satoko, Stella and Julis a mission. Bring the prisoner back before nightfall. Before the next death game begins." Kaolinite tells Emma.

"Falcom escaped?"

"Yes. Rika Furude was at fault for it. I already punished her. And with Anri's condition? She will stay here and not enter the game."

"I understand madam." Emma bows. Kaolinite leaves and goes to talk with Liver and Jack The Ripper. Emma stays by Anri's side. "I swear to you, Anri. I promise you, that vampire will be dead!"

Alchemist is doing her hunt, she meets Derek, Aka and Carl. They have two lives remaining. Alchemist immediately slashes at their bodies! They fall down and bleed out! Alchemist grabs Derek and bites his neck and drinks his blood. She throws him down and stomps onto Aka's back! It breaks, killing him.

Carl is left. Alchemist grabs him by the neck and rips his head off! The delinquents now have only one life left! Alchemist brings them over to AOI, so she can feed on them later~

"Congrats on a successful hunt by dear~" AOI smiles and makes out with Alchemist~ tasting the blood.

"Thank you, master~" AOI kisses her some more and gropes the Android's big breasts. AOI stops.

"Sadie, I think, will be a good name for you." AOI tells her enforcer.

Alchemist agrees. She rests into her tomb for the day like the others. "This death game, has me intrigued. Anri did tell me one thing." AOI decides to rest for the day too.

Time skip. 6 PM.

Tomo and Makie are sparring with each other. Falcom and Nodoka are together, taking a stroll. Darkia is showering and Kei is reading a book. Himeko decided to join Nodoka and Falcom.

"I have to lead us to victory. No matter what." Darkia says to herself.

Nodoka and Falcom are holding hands as they walk through the forest. It's not dark at all either. The sun is out too.

Himeko picks out some flowers….before a fireball hits her in the back! Himeko goes unconscious from it. Stella appears and she stabs Himeko! The rich girl now has 3 lives left.

Rika, Satoko and Julis appear before Nodoka and Falcom! "We did not come for a fight. We came for Falcom." Julis says to them.

"You're not getting her back!" Nodoka yells.

"It's the rules. She's part of the death game, as a prisoner. If you win? You'll get the Red Gem back AND Falcom will be yours." Rika says.

"And you'll be free from this place!" Satoko adds.

"You arent going to hurt me?" Falcom steps forward.

"No. You'll be safe in a cage, watching the game unfold." Rika replies. Falcom turns to Nodoka. She kisses her on the lips.

"I'll be ok." Falcom assures Nodoka. Falcom gives Nodoka her sword.

"….Ok. You can have her." Nodoka agrees to it, she doesn't like it, but she has no choice. Falcom goes to the girls and gets handcuffed again.

"Two hours. Two hours the next death game begins. Good luck. Our victory is killing all of you. Your victory is to reach Falcom at the top." Julis tells Nodoka.

"We will win. We will complete our mission." Nodoka clenches her fist.

"We shall see." Julis chuckles and she and the others enter a portal and leave.
