Blood Wars
Sorry for the long delay…I guess the "writer's block" bug has gotten to me…but after re-reading the past chapters, I was able to collect the ideas and now I managed to write and type down the final chapter of this fic, and what would happen if a War broke within the battlefield?
The conclusion is here and enjoy the final chapter.

With the scene taking a different turn than he originally planned, and starting to get desperate to finish off his targets in order to win the "sibling war", Gilliam has seen enough and decided to end the battle himself and jumped inside the coliseum, and took out his sword and stabbed Hiro on his gut, but Hiro held onto the weapon impaled on his stomach while holding Gilliam, urging Mikasa to take the Mermaid Girl and run, and Sylvia's Blood Warrior is surprised to see his feeble attempt to sacrifice himself for others. Blood is spilling down to the ground yet Hiro held on, and Mikasa was annoyed, and baffled at why he is doing this.
"You are a fool…! Why risk you're life for others knowing that you'll be abandoned…there is no alliances between us…"
"Still…"
"Worry about yourself! This is still a war between our masters!"
"I don't care about that!"
"Why? You're a blood warrior! I'm a blood warrior! There is no alliance between us!"
"But you're still human like me…I don't care if I die for good…just get the mermaid girl out…she's an unfortunate victim and target…she doesn't deserve to be here…please…as a fellow human…save the girl and take her to Emil…! He'll let you go if you bring her to him!"
Gilliam began kicking Hiro away to get him to release his hold on the sword but Hiro refused, while Mikasa reluctantly took the Mermaid Girl out of the coliseum and head for the nearest exit. Gilliam is getting pissed and began to kick him hard that Hiro was slammed against the wall ad there the prince began to repeatedly stab Hiro, but inspite of this he kept on fighting back, though he is starting to fall as his Flame of Light is now nearing depletion.
"You really are a fool…sacrificing your existence for a fellow Blood Warrior…"
"At least I'm fighting for those who are unwilling to fight a dirty fight…!"
"And what a fool you are…falling for the Princess of Monster Kingdom…you're only her blood warrior…she'll abandon you…you don't deserve her affections…she'll ditch you once your usefulness is no longer needed…and I doubt she'll mourn your death once I kill you!"
By then, Hime and Riza arrived and the half human/werewolf went into action and charged towards Gilliam but then he took out another sword and aimed it on Hiro's neck, forming a hostage situation. He hoped that this would make her vulnerable knowing she is a compassionate person she is and how far she is willing to put herself at risk just to rescue her servants.
"Stay where you are, Lilliane…or I'll kill him…his Flame of Light is nearing depletion…if you wish to save him…surrender to me…and I'll let him go…fair trade, no? I'm a reasonable man who is willing to negotiate…so what do you say? Surrender to me and I will spare his life…and even donate a portion of my flame of life to this boy…"
"Arrgghh…koff…Hime…! Never mind me! Just kill this guy! He's using robots posing as Blood Warriors! Don't give your life away on the account of me! He'll…kill you…if you come near…him…!"
"Shut up, brat!"
But Hiro resisted and did an elbow strike and Gilliam slit Hiro's throat, and that was it, as his Flame of Light has finally been extinguished and is slowly dying, and Hime was pissed as she charged at Gilliam and clashed swords at her elder brother as Riza uses a handkerchief to stop the bleeding but Hiro was content, telling her to go help Hime, but Riza was unwilling.
"We're all going home!"
"N-never mind…about…me…g-go help…H-Hime…look after…S-Sawawa…"
By then Sylvia came with the awakened clones following her and there she gives out her command, which is to go after Gilliam, and the clones did so, and they all rushed towards Gilliam, who is now forced to defend himself against the cloned Blood Warriors and Emil arrived and saw Hiro is just a few seconds to expiration and used his Flame of Life to save him, but Hiro faintly pointed his finger towards the Mermaid Girl, as she too is dying and Emil was torn between saving his Blood Warrior and Hiro, until Hime came and used her Flame of Light to save the Mermaid Girl, and Emil now uses his to save Hiro.
However, Gilliam had a secret trick up his sleeve as he pressed a button hidden underneath his sleeve and several robots arrived, all resembling Huitzil (from Darkstalkers) and dispatches the cloned Blood Warriors while others surrounded the rest, trapping them, and Gilliam stood triumphant as he now has his siblings under fire.
"Any last words before I kill you all…?"

Outside the castle, it appeared that help has arrived as the Mermen race are assembled and had Posiedon took on the zombies and it became a slugfest, where bodies are starting to pile up though it didn't deter either side, as the Mermen know why they are here: provide assistance to Hime and her friends.
"Keep it up! Destroy the zombies! Protect each other…save her Highness!"
-x-
Back inside, Hime, Sylvia and Emil's groups watched as the cloned versions of Hime, Sylvia and Emil are making a good defense as they fought the Huitzil robots while Gilliam slowly sneaked away and secretly planted bombs all over the places so that the three factions would be killed and he will be proclaimed the victor. However, in his zest, he seemingly overlooked one error: Sherwood wasn't there.
"The bombs are in place…once I activated the remote control…they will die…and I will be proclaimed the winner and get the throne to myself…what a fool Lilliane is…having a relationship with a mere human boy…but he is not a weakling as I thought…but with him getting killed once the bomb goes off…it'll be a pleasure in attaining revenge…"
Gilliam then sneaked out of the area but gave some instructions to his Gynoid, Franz before leaving.
The scene shifts to the coliseum where the clones have managed to take down several Huitzil robots and still they are not out of the woods yet, and while Hime is busy tangling with the other robots, Riza, Sledge and Keziah are having problems with their own, thus Franz is able to sneak past them and is heading for Hime, and just as the gynoid dog is about to lunge at her for the fatal bite, Hiro shoves her aside and he ended up getting the fatal bite, but then he saw a remote control attached and realized what this means.
"This dog got a remote control!"
Emil glances around and saw the bombs attached and learned that the entire place is booby-trapped. As the remote control device is starting to tick, Hiro managed to grab one of Franz's screws and loosens it, which caused the robot dog to malfunction and ran off. There Emil gathered his troops and they are ready to leave. Hime did the same, and Sylvia left, just as the others noticed that Mikasa is no longer around.
"Lilliane…come with us…we'll get out of here if we take this route…"
"Thank you, Emil…"
"Wait…what about Hiro…?"
"Darn…"
"Sledge…go find him…and rescue him…"
"Yes, master Emil…"
And so the two factions left and wasted no time, knowing that the bombs are ticking away.

Meanwhile, Gilliam is waiting at the secret exit as he took this route after learning that the Mermen race are busy keeping the zombies at bay, and is now about to board a boat when Sherwood shows up, and with her are Francesca and Flandre, blocking his way.
"I knew you'd do something like this…you're just like Severin-nee-sama…a cheater and a coward…now you're going to pay for the deception…and for slapping my elder sister…so what if she chooses to hook up with Hiro? At least she's in good hands!"
"And Lilliane has bad taste in choosing a mate…but no matter…they're both going to die anyway…"
By then Franz and Hiro arrived and the teen blood warrior unfasten his belt and tied it on Gilliam's belt and attached it to Franz, but Gilliam didn't notice it as he threw a dagger at Sherwood's chest and she was thrown off the bridge and this caused the two Gynoid's to go after her while Hiro is again about to die after repeated slash attacks from Gilliam.
"Now no one will save you now, boy…!"
"…"
By then Franz, still malfunctioning due to a missing screw, ran back inside the castle and Gilliam, now realizing what is happening, tries to unfasten himself but is unable to given his predicament and saw the remote device ticking away. He shouted at his Gynoid to stop but it fell on deaf ears.
By then a huge mechanical hand emerged from the pond and it revealed to be Flanders, and along with Emil and Hime's group. Riza is applying bandages to the injured Sherwood and they all evacuated from the building where the Mermen race slowly withdraws as Emile uses his psychokinesis to keep the zombies back, and within another building the castle exploded, apparently taking Gilliam with him.
"You think Gilliam's done for?"
"Who knows, Riza…"
Hime then glances at Hiro, who is laying on her lap as she puts her flame of light on his chest and his wounds slowly healed. As Hiro sat up, he glances at her, and although blushing, he gently embraces her, which earned a coo from Riza and Keziah, while the Mermaid Girl smiled, while Sledge whistles in delight. Emil just nodded as he mentally approved of this, seeing that Hiro is just right for Hime.
Hime just sat there in an emotionless expression though her cheeks slowly went red a bit before her musing is interrupted when he gently kissed her lips. She was a bit silence but she chose to embrace him in return. She glances at Emil, who smiled faintly and nodded, and she nodded in return, smiling a little, seeing that her elder brother is fine with this.
At the hills where the castle is burning, Sylvia and Mikasa are reunited with Francette and watches the castle being consumed before leaving. They were unsure if Gilliam is dead or not but they are content with the turn of events.
"Fu-fu-fu…that's what you get for setting us up like that…and Lilliane…why hook up with a blood warrior so timid…she really has a poor taste in choosing men…Mikasa, Francette…let's go…"
"Mistress…you know Hiro helped me…are you going to…"
"No, my dear…I must say he is quite considerate…very well…if you cross path with that boy…you can have a truce…but for a one-time only…"
"Yes, mistress…"
-x-
At Hime's mansion, everyone have arrived and are getting some rest and a feast-ful of dinner from Sawawa and all are getting some rest, as they were tired from the events that happened earlier in the day. As usual, Sawawa is clueless on what happened and minds her own business.
At the bathroom, Hiro is clad only in his brief as he is about to shower when Hime came and glances at him. Hiro felt a tense atmosphere and wondered if she is upset about what he did earlier but instead she came closer to him, placed her hands on his cheeks and planted a kiss on his lips, which lasted for half a minute.
"This doesn't change the fact that you are my blood warrior. But still…you think you can put up with me?"
"Yes…"
"Very well…let's keep this a secret from the outside world. Are you amendable with that?"
"Yes…"
"Good…"
Five minutes later…
"That was foul, Reiri…you left the castle when all of us are busting our butts trying to stay alive…"
"If not for me guiding the Mermen towards the castle…the zombie's would've feasted on you…be glad, Riza…we all arrived home safely…"
"Whatever…I'm going to brush my teeth…"
"Don't brush too much…you might chew up on the toothbrush…"
"Coming from you…huh?"
As the two female teens entered the bathroom, they were surprised with a rather surprising sight. The shower room is opened, and the scene zoomed towards Hiro and Hime. They were naked and are showering together. Riza blushed at what she saw while Reiri smirked as she gets to see them naked, and caught a glance of Hiro's "modesty".
Reiri (whispering): "Wow…Hiro is six inches big…Hime is sure is lucky…"
Riza (whispering): "Are you crazy? Watching them while they are having their private moment?"
The scene zooms in at the bathroom where the couple are at the shower room, where the scene slowly revealed the two from their feet zooming upwards where you could see them embracing each other while kissing slowly but passionately.
Hot water streamed gently down, cascading over their bodies in a pleasant embrace. He tipped his head to press his lips to hers, reveling in the scent and feel of her body. One arm was wrapped around her waist to keep her close to his body, while the other gently stroked her side, slowly moving toward her bottom. Her hands were similarly busy, feeling the contours of his slim chest. Then her hands slowly went down and rubbed his pelvic area, still shaved, and gently grasped his "modesty".
"Mmm…"
Taking pleasure in each other's bodies, both felt more content and happy than they had felt in a long time. As she pressed her tongue into his mouth, and he gently squeezed her butt and she leaned forward, both lost in bliss. Riza turned around, facing the sink while brushing her teeth. Reiri smiled at watching the tender scene until she snapped out if her revelry when Hime stooped her actions and took out a crossbow with a wooden arrow loaded.
"Is there anything you need, Reiri…?"
"Ah…no…I'm leaving…"
Before leaving the bathroom, the teen vampire made a foolish joke which she would, seconds later regret pulling it off.
"Hiro…ask her to rub your birdie…I promise it'll make you feel good…"
FWING…PA-TOING!
"AAAIIIEEE! MY BUTT!"
Hime was blushing but pissed at Reiri's praks, but as she glanced at Riza, still brushing her teeth, she waved her hands and Hime nodded, as the werewolf warrior left the bathroom and locked the door. Now having complete privacy, the two kissed each other again and continued their showering romance, where the scene shifts to the wall where their shadows and silhouettes are shown and you can tell that they are now making love while showering and standing.
The End…
Hope you like this chapter and the closure. Many thanks to those who read and reviewed it, and now that this is over, I'll try to finish off my other fic, "The Seducer", which I hope will be up within this week.
