A/N: I was having some mix feelings when my friend, Passé on an Angel, confirmed for me that she's finding the story kinda good and creepy too. I'm proud to say that I can write out "creepy material".
However, on the other hand, when I re-read what I have written so far, I creep myself out. –Meep– this is scaring me out! I had only intended to write out a humor story, not a horror story! (shivers) Maybe I should put this under Humor/Horror genre instead?

(Back at the New Human Empire, in the royal palace's main hall.)
Abel, Seth and I were now currently standing still in a triangle formation. We were waiting to see who would be the first to strike out. I was standing tall and glaring murderously at Seth; while I'm pretty much ignoring Abel's heated attention on me. I'm sorry brother, but now was not the time for me to obsess and coo madly over you.
Outwardly, I looked as if I have the confidence and could easily overcome my siblings. But deep down, I knew that I need to take great care in planning strategies in defeating them. My body could not withstand long period of battle form which was a great disadvantage. However, ever since that little fight over the skies of Londinium, Abel was also not in his best performance state to fight against me. So he would be not much of a problem to deal with. That's only left my sister Seth, whose powers which I have not much idea and how much stronger she became after all these 900 years.
Well, my doubts were cleared when Seth finally could not contain herself any longer in this staring contest. She activated her Crusnik powers, her eyes turn glowing red and grew 2 pairs of pale green metallic wings. Hmm, this was getting interesting…
You see, when we activated our Crusnik powers, we have a few level limitations for us to choose from. The first level would be the 40 percent output level, where we usually grew only 1 pair of wings, our eyes became red, the teeth elongated into fangs plus our nails would turn into claws. Our weapon of our own blood would also materialize for our need in battles. At the second level of 80 percent output, we grew another pair of wings and can generate massive amounts of electricity. At the final level of 100 percent output, we would turn into a humanoid creature with our own unique markings that cover the entire body. We could also generate more electricity than the 80 percent form and also more enhanced physical abilities.
With all these observations, Seth had managed to reach her 80 percent form over the 900 long years. However, that does not mean I am worried over her. Not at all. I had been the first among the siblings to be able to attain my 100 percent form 900 years ago. I could proudly say that I had much more experience in using my own abilities. Seth, in this case, could not have much experience in controlling her abilities carefully. Coupled with the fact that I had use my 80 percent Crusnik form to fight against Abel's 100 percent form during our last fight, could say a lot more about my strength and experience.
Ahh… Once again I'm easily distracted. Back to the situation at hand, Seth had now started to move forward against me. She tried to use physical body combat on me to 'test out the waters'. Of course, I easily dodged her attacks effortlessly without activating my powers. We can't have my body break down earlier, can we?
Owie! Bad Abel! He actually kicked me by attacking me from behind. Huh? He had activated his powers too, but he's only at 40 percent output level. Hmm, looks like I would better start using my powers too… Thus, I also activated my powers to 40 percent output. I can't afford to use too much energy right now and was just in time to be able to evade another attack coming from Seth as I backed away using my wings to lift me into the air.
Now the three of us were battling out in the air. Suddenly, I sensed an even stronger power coming from Seth and look warily towards her. Seth had called upon a pair of trident-like weapons made of blood which materialize in each of her hands. I remembered she even named her weapons Tridents of Music. However, upon closer inspection, her weapons could be interpreted as oversized tuning forks. Or even just simply giant-sized 'poking stick'. I really don't want to play a game of "parry-poke, parry-poke" with her at all. This could not bode well for me. I wondered what kind of powers she had gotten up her sleeves. With a laughable twirl of her weapons, she unleashed her attack at me while shouting "The Fire of Sound".
Hmph, as if that could kill me. I notched up another level output to my 80 percent form and created a strong barrier around me using my sound waves. Well, a very theatrical sound of Boom! was generated as her attack negated my barrier. However, a lot of dust and rubbles were created and I could clearly hear her voice proudly speaking about her attack. Basically was that while she was in this state, she can almost instantly disintegrated her enemies. Similar to my ability, this power appears linked to the manipulation of sound waves. She called her technique "The Fire of Sound".
Ha! As if she could kill me with that sad excuse of her attack. Just then, Abel shouted a warning to her that I might not be dead at all. That was perfectly correct. I fluttered my 2 pairs of pristine white wings and rise up like a phoenix from its ashes. I smirked proudly at Seth as I presented to everyone in the hall, that I was very alive without any damages at all. And as always, I'm still a handsome beau. Her 'Royal Guards' were actually gaping at me with adoration of worship in their eyes. Seth was obviously livid about something… maybe she's jealous that I'm better and stronger than her?
What was that I'm hearing? She was muttering something under her breath about the technique being her strongest…
Ah hee hee! I do have very sharp sense of hearing and I was now smiling with glee! If that's her strongest attack, I could actually walk away from here without any of my limbs falling off and eventually ruined my reputation.
"Crusnik nanomachines output level 80 percent. Confirmed." shouted Abel. Huh, oh holy s---
Next, I saw Abel crumbled onto the floor as he was shocked by his own electricity. That was very anti-climatic. Sigh… Here I thought I would have a nice little fight with Abel, but he had not been eating his food properly. Or else the nanomachines, which I called them nanites for short, would not be malfunctioning at all. He had starved them much too long. Heehee… which means that Seth was all I needed to concentrate on. Wonderful!
However, for my own safety precautions, I increased my speed and appeared at Abel's side. Holding Abel up by his collar with my left hand, I smashed part of Abel's head in with my other free hand to keep him immobile so I could take the opportunity to kill Seth uninterrupted. Owie! My beloved really had a stubborn head! And nope, Abel would not be so easily killed by this attack. I suddenly had a renewed respect for that… Lilith who had managed to drill in her teachings into his head before her death. Hmm? I vaguely heard Seth crying out loud for Abel somewhere…
Okay, is Abel's unconscious now? Check.
Are my nails still perfectly manicured? Check.
Is Seth dead and drained of her blood? Uncheck.
I slowly turn around to side-glance my dearest sister with what she would call 'an evil and insane smile'. "Oh Seth… I'm feeling a bit thirsty after all that 'little playing around'. Let me feast on 'your children'…"
"Over my dead body!" she screamed. Owie! My ears nearly bleed from that underhanded attack.
"Fine," I replied sulkily and moved behind her back with my increased speed. "If you are not sharing, let me have yours instead…" with that said I buried my fangs into her delicate neck while I restrained her from escaping by wrapping my super-strength arms around her weak lithe and child-like body.
Ahhh… her blood was so much sweeter than I would ever imagine. It tastes like the honey fruit wine of very good vintage. Such a rich taste of a wonderful aged wine. She tasted better than Lilith, whose blood can only be described as peach and strawberry champagne. This made me wonder what Abel's blood taste like…
I drank greedily from Seth and can felt that the nanites had begun to move into my body and started to repair my cells. After I had my fill of her blood, I cut her pretty little head off and carelessly dumped her away. Warm blood splattered like spider-webs onto the cold white marble floor. Cradling her tiny head in my left hand and absorbing her nanites into my own body, I kneeled down beside my fallen brother and forced-feed Abel with Seth's blood to regenerate faster.
Ahhh… I still remembered how sweet the nectar of her life tasted and I even get to share this with Abel. Hmm? Why am I seeing everything in doubles? Oh darn it... everything looked so twirling...
(At the main command room of the Empire's palace)
Unbeknownst to both Abel and Seth, at the main command room of the empire's palace, Isaak was killing off all the Empire soldiers with his 'shadow magic'. He was guarding at the entrance door of the room and trying to help 'protect' Dietrich from any other 'disturbances' while doing his evil plan of destroying lives.
"Puppeteer, how much longer do you have to take?"
"Just a moment, I'm recording what our Master is doing."
"Puppeteer…"
"Okay, okay! I have already done hacking into the system. You just need to press down that (point, point) very big and red button on the wall over there yourself."
"What I really want to say was: Make another copy for me too. I also want to watch how the fight goes on actually… "
"Oh…Considered it done."
"Thank you." Replied Issak and commanded one of his 'shadow minions' to activate and launched the nuclear attack. The Rome was under direct hit and the Vatican City was demolished by the attack with no survivors.
In the end, Abel and Seth were unable to stop my 'evil' plan. (-Insert hysterical laughter here-)
(Back at the New Human Empire, in the royal palace's main hall.)
I'm seriously drunk and there was supposed to have no alcoholic content in Seth's blood at all. I really wondered whatever she ate for lunch or dinner today. Here I am, I was smiling uncontrollable as I never felt so relaxing as I carried my unconscious Abel in bridal style and slowly walked my way out of the main hall of the Empire's palace. Along the way, Isaak and Dietrich fall in and reported to me that they had accomplished their mission. I managed to let a giggle to come out from me and I remembered that I 'rewarded' them with a friendly kiss. It was meant to be a joke. No other implications intended and I was drunk. VERY DRUNK! Damnit.
Oh well, now the world had begun to know of the existence of Rozen Kruez Orden…
Umm… Issak would you mind removed your straying hands from my hips? Dietrich, please stopped bear-hugging me from behind. I really felt trapped between the two of you; my sweet Abel would have not much air to breathe here…
(End of Chapter 4.)
A/N: Har..har… I do hope you people are not scared off by this? Oh well, anyway thank you for taking the time to read this chapter. Please review and tell me what you really think about this.
