"NO! STOP! STOP IT!" Luna's voice screamed out inside the darkened cell, the girl's chains and restraints clacking amidst the grunting and snarling of the demons that were in the room with her. The girl's screams were muffled as her mouth was then used by the dark monsters, her screams and cries being drowned out by the laughter and grunting of the breeders. Luna's mind raced uncontrollably, her magic refusing to work properly as she felt her spirit and willpower dropping. She felt her body secured in place on her knees, the monster that was holding her from behind along with the one that was holding her head in front, and feeling others touching her body and wings while she felt her mind fall into despair.
'RASON!'
Suddenly all fell quiet in the room, the girl snapping back to her senses as everything froze in place. The demon behind her was thrown off into the darkness while the one in front of her was thrown away violently, the two then freezing in place as well while Luna coughed and gasped for air. She looked around franticly, only seeing darkness in the room along with the glowing red eyes of the demons that had been raping her constantly. However none of them were moving, none were making a sound.
"Wha… what's going on?" she whimpered.
"Honestly father, your people skills are simply deplorable," a male's voice sounded off from nearby. Luna looked around franticly while trembling in fear, feeling her body aching slightly while she was still bound in place.
"Who's there? What do you want with me now?" Luna asked shakily.
"What's your name?" the voice asked calmly. Luna spat out the taste of the demon that had been violating her mouth then looked around nervously while she tried to squirm about in her shackles.
"I said, what's your name?" the voice asked again.
"Luna. Luna Cii," she said shakily.
"Interesting name. Tell me, are you having fun here?" the voice asked.
"Is this some sort of sick joke? Who are you; can't you see the torment you're putting me through here?" Luna cried out. She suddenly felt a hand holding her cheek, keeping her head facing forward as she trembled fearfully from the touch.
"You don't have to shout, I can hear you just fine. My father however might hear you if you don't keep your voice down, so, I'll ask you just one time to be quiet, understand?" the voice said. Luna trembled and tried not to cry.
"What are you going to do to me?" she asked fearfully.
"I was thinking of taking you with me, unless you wanted to stay here of course," the voice said calmly. Luna looked ahead with wonder as the hand gently brushed her hair away from her face.
"What?" she asked quietly.
"Just what I said. Do you want to come with me?" the voice asked. Luna glanced around then back ahead with worried eyes.
"Why, what are you planning to do with me? Please, I just want to go home, let me go, I beg of you," she whimpered.
"Well, I could let you go free outside, however you'll bring down my father's minions upon you and all those around you if you are found to be down with your friends in your world. I'll take you with me; however you will need to remain with me until I say so. Don't worry, you'll be safe with me, I promise," the voice said.
"Who are you, what do you want with me anyway?" Luna whimpered.
"Right now, Luna Cii, I'm the only friend you've got up here. I'll leave you to your dear harem if you decline, however if you come with me I'll keep you safe from my father, provided you do something for me," the voice said.
"Something for you? What? What do you want from me?" Luna asked worriedly.
"I need your assistance with something; it's a personal matter that someone such as yourself would be able to help me with. What do you say?" the voice asked. Luna tried to steady her breathing as she glanced around. If she said no the monsters around her would resume where they left off, raping her day and night without mercy.
"If I go… with you, could I at least see my friends again? I'll help you, I swear I will if you get me out of here, but can't I see them again first?" she asked.
"No, like I said my father can't see you down in the world below, or anywhere else for that matter. You will remain by my side where I take you and you will stay there until I say otherwise. I know what you can do Luna, how easily you could run away in time, but know that like my father you won't be able to run far enough away from me. At least with me you won't be trapped here in the darkness with such unsavory roommates," the voice reasoned. Luna looked ahead at where the voice was with worried eyes. She cringed and groaned as a painful sensation was felt below her stomach.
"Hmm, it appears they've impregnated you already. That can't be good," the voice said casually.
"Oh god… no… oh god I can feel it now! Just kill me, please! I can't give birth to those things!" Luna screamed out. The voice laughed amusedly and gently held her cheek again.
"I'd rather not spill your blood; you really are a beauty after all. As for your little problem, I can take care of that for you," he said calmly. Luna looked ahead at him with wide eyes.
"What, you can?" she asked nervously.
"Of course. If you agree to help me and do as I say to the letter, I'll remove what's inside of you. And don't worry, I won't ruin you in doing so, you can still have children in the future when you decide to," the voice explained. Luna trembled then nodded with tears forming in her eyes.
"Ok, I'll do it. Please, just get me out of here and help me, I'll do whatever you say," she pleaded. The voice chuckled before the chains around Luna shattered and vanished. The girl stumbled forward before someone caught her and held her in place.
"Easy now, I've got you. Alright then Luna, I'll take you out of here, but first we need to make sure my father doesn't know you've gone missing or else he'll come looking for you. I may be able to hide you from others who would be looking for you, but not from my father should he find out the truth," the voice said.
"Fine, whatever you want, just please get me out of here," Luna said while holding a hand down below her stomach. She could feel a painful sensation coming and going from within her, fearing what was happening inside her body. A small glow came from behind her, the girl looking over to seeing a soft glowing light appearing where she just was. After a while it slowly took shape with glowing trails of light shooting out to the sides of the room. Luna watched with wonder as the light slowly took form and color, and saw a body form along with steel chains and shackles.
"What… the…" Luna said with awe as she saw a perfect copy of her forming in place, the doll's lifeless eyes staring ahead while her wings lied against the steel chains. The bracelet over the double's wrist phased into view, the gems remaining dormant while the girl's naked body finished taking form. Luna stared at the double with wonder as the lights vanished completely then looked to who was holding her, the figure becoming obscured in the shadows again while he held her up with one arm.
"There, they can violate that doll all they want; they won't get anything out of it. Hell, I'd be shocked if they did, haha," the voice said amusedly.
"Who are you?" Luna asked softly. She jumped a bit when she felt a hand resting against her body below her stomach.
"Like I said, I'm your only friend right now. Just relax," the voice said, with Luna feeling a strange numbing sensation rippling through her lower body. Her legs gave out, the girl being caught and held up by the shadowy figure as she looked down with weary eyes.
"How… are you doing this? What kind of magic… are you using?" she asked weakly.
"What is magic to you is not to me, and what is magic to me is unknown to you. For now a simple thank you will be acceptable, rather than asking questions," the voice said casually. Luna wearily looked up to where she assumed the face of the figure was.
"Thank you, thank you so much for this. I can never repay you enough, but know that you have my eternal gratitude. Please, what's your name?" she asked. She wavered slightly as a wave of soothing energy rippled through her body, her hearing becoming muffled for a moment as the figure said something to her.
"What?" she asked weakly before she felt lightheaded and dazed. Before she could say anything else suddenly she was lifted up and carried in the figure's arms bridal style, the girl's head resting against his shoulder. Slowly the two vanished into the shadows, then into nothing. Suddenly all the demons around the room started to move again, with the two that were thrown aside stumbling back before looking around quickly. The monsters then resumed ganging up on the doll of the chronofly, violating her body in any way they could in an attempt to impregnate and use the rare monster to breed more for their master. Of course they're efforts would be in vain, as the doll may have had a pulse and a small flicker of monster energy, yet was incapable of bearing children seeing as how it was hardly alive itself.
Inside a large casino people were gathered in the expansive lounge while watching the multiple TVs set up showing a monster attack taking place in a city, with images of a giant airborne monstrosity as well as multiple otherworldly creatures fighting the streets. People in the lounge were watching with gasps and shocked expressions while seated on couches and chairs as well as gathering around the area to see the reports.
Sitting at one of the tables a girl was watching the reports with her green eyes, a worried expression on her face as she saw the destruction the monsters were causing. Luna was watching the images while wearing a dark blue lace front satin dress, a silver necklace with light green gems along it, black heels, and her bracelet on her wrist which had four glowing green gems on it.
"Oh my god, they're really invading our world now," a man said in the crowd of people.
"Don't worry, as soon as the HDA gets there they'll blow those monsters to pieces," another man spoke up confidently.
"Right, because they sure handled holding those things well. Didn't you hear about the monster breakout yesterday, the HDA can't do shit against these things," another man argued.
"They killed all the monsters that tried to escape and saved that city, show some respect for those men who are brave enough to fight these things," a woman scoffed.
"I hope the HDA really can stop that thing, I mean look at it! It's freakin' huge!" a man cried out pointing to the TV.
Luna watched the reports of the monster attack with worried eyes then glanced to somebody sitting with her at the table.
"Can't we do anything? Please, I can't just sit here and do nothing," she pleaded quietly. Sitting at the table with her was a boy about Tsukune's height. He had messy dark hair that went down to just above his shoulders with the bangs sticking out slightly, and differently colored eyes, with the right eye being purple and the left one being red. He was wearing black dress shoes, dark gray dress pants, and a dark green formal jacket similar to the ones used at Yokai Academy with red trimmings instead of white ones.
"No, all you can do is watch now, if you are spotted by my father's minions from above then what you're seeing on the TV will be happening here," the boy said calmly. Luna looked at him worriedly then to the reports again.
"Please, I can't let those things do this. They're not too far away from here, I could go and stop them," she pleaded.
"Luna," the boy said expectantly, with the girl looking over to him nervously. He slowly shook his head and glanced to her.
"Are you going to behave for me?" he asked. She trembled slightly then nodded.
"I didn't rescue you from my father's grasp just to have you walk back out into his sights. Now you're going to sit there and watch like everybody else, do not do anything foolish," he said with an assertive tone. She nodded slowly while watching him with worried eyes. The boy smirked and looked back to the reports.
"Good girl. Now, how about a drink?" he asked casually. She looked down, remaining silent while her hands fidgeted slightly in her lap. The boy glanced to her and smiled calmly.
"You're not a prisoner with me Luna; I'm not like my father in that regard. If you would like something to drink please say so, you can have whatever you want while you are with me," he said kindly. Luna glanced to him then looked to the reports on the TVs again.
"You saved me from that hell, you removed what was growing inside of me, you brought me here and cleaned me up, and you even provided me this lovely dress. You kept me safe from the monsters above, you offered me so many expensive meals, and you've never once laid a hand on me inappropriately. I can tell you're nothing like your father at all, and I'm certainly grateful for that. Still, I feel bad just sitting here like this. My friends and I fought so hard to help save the world, and now here I am doing nothing while a horrible monster attack is taking place in the neighboring city," she said softly. The boy smiled slightly then looked back to the broadcasts again.
"You know Luna, maybe there is a way you can help after all, if it means that much to you," he said casually. Luna looked to him curiously as the boy glanced to her.
"Tell me, do you feel pretty lucky?"
Inside an office building people were looking around worriedly as the entire structure seemed to be trembling again and again from a loud disturbance. Inside a hallway two women were looking around nervously as sounds of crashing and sirens were heard from the city around them.
"Did you feel that?" one of them asked.
"Is it just me, or are the noises getting closer?" the other asked nervously.
From the wall next to them an explosion of purple and red flames blasted out, the women being incinerated with loud screams as the torrent of flames seared through and annihilated the hallway. In the destroyed office room next to the hall Rathieal was looking around with a dark glare while wisps of red and purple flames swirled around his hands. Smoke was billowing around in the room while fire sprinkler systems went off. People out in the halls and other rooms started running away in a panic while the building trembled again.
"You can't hide from me you little insect!" Rathieal yelled out. From behind Gabriel flew over and struck at him with a punch, knocking the dark being into a spiral towards the flaming hallway. Rathieal spun around and swung his hand out, sending a wave of red and purple flames that scorched everything they washed over towards the angel. Gabriel shot up and through the ceiling as the flames flared by underneath wildly, the ceiling tiles being plowed right through as fires flared around wildly inside the office. Rathieal snarled then shot up through the ceiling into the floor above, just as Gabriel flew over towards him with glowing eyes and wings. The angel swung at him with a punch, the dark being blocking it then swinging with a punch of his own. Gabriel ducked down as the attack sent out a wave of fiery energy which seared through a wall and into a lounge where people screamed and scattered about.
"You're going straight to hell for what you did to Luna!" Gabriel roared, his anger clearly evident as he sent punch after punch towards Rathieal. The dark being blocked one with his arm, another quickly with his other arm, then struck at Gabriel's fist with his own punch, the two attacks clashing and sending out a shockwave which shattered the ground below them. Gabriel's fist and wrist burned slightly yet the angel continued his assault without a pause, throwing a kick towards the Rathieal and blasting him back through a wall into an office. The dark being crashed through the wall and into a table as businessmen ran out screaming for their lives. Gabriel flew through the opening towards Rathieal, the dark being the striking down with his fist onto the ground, creating a large wave of purple and red flames that flared out like a nova. The floor and furniture were incinerated and burned down through to the lower level, then down again as people and the lower office were melted away while the two winged fighters hovered in place while striking at each other again. Gabriel struck at him with a punch, the dark being grabbing it and swinging him around before throwing him down into the flames and smoke below. The angel raced down and crashed through the ground and smoldering remains of debris before Rathieal threw down a glowing spear of purple and red flames, the attack striking through the debris and exploding into a wide blast of flames and energy. The building trembled as the lower floors in the attack's blast radius were annihilated by the flames and explosion. Rathieal eyed the destruction carefully while flying in place, his eyes slowly going from down below to up along the walls towards his level. From a wall Gabriel blasted out while holding a steel beam that had a chunk of concrete on it, swinging towards the dark being as smoke blew out behind him. Rathieal ducked down and swung around with his fiery hand, the angel spiraling to the side then swinging the beam up towards the dark being and striking him in the chest. Rathieal was knocked up towards the ceiling with a gasp before Gabriel flew up and tackled him through the roof.
"You and your master picked the wrong world to invade; this is where you will fall!" Gabriel yelled as he flew Rathieal up through several floors with the steel beam held across the dark monster's chest and shoulder. After a few more forceful crashes through the building Rathieal grabbed the beam with both hands as purple and red flames flared around his arms. Gabriel narrowed his eyes then swung off to the side, throwing the dark being and the beam over into a computer server room that they had ended up in. Rathieal tore apart the beam with a fiery explosion of purple and red flames as he skidded to a stop, knocking through several large cabinets of computers while flames started to spread and catch along all the rows of servers.
"If you think there is anyone who can defy my lord's will then you are gravely mistaken. No no angel, this is where you and all those in your existence shall bow before the one and only true king. You will all kneel before your new master," the dark being hissed with malice. He chuckled then tilted his head with a cruel smile.
"Of course, your little whore of a butterfly already knows that, seeing as how she was kneeling quite well back in her new home," he taunted. Gabriel growled furiously at him, feeling his anger skyrocketing from the monster's words. Rathieal laughed and stood upright while readying a spear of red and purple light and flames in one of his hands.
"I wish I could have had a go with her myself, she was quite the specimen for the breeding selection. Although I don't think I'll take up such and offer now, after all, she's become rather defiled for someone of my stature to bother with," he laughed. Gabriel roared and flew towards him as a bright light shined from his wings. Rathieal smirked and swung the spear toward him, the angel kicking off the floor and shooting up through the ceiling as server cabinets around them started to spark and explode slightly. Rathieal looked up and swung his spear around towards the ceiling, just as Gabriel crashed down through the roof with a kick towards him. The angel's arm was struck with the spear as he kicked down on Rathieal, his skin and arm burning and scorching along with a few feathers on his wing while the dark being was knocked down through the floor into a hallway below the level. Gabriel staggered to the side and touched down inside the server room, holding his arm as his wing twitched slightly from the pain.
"How dare you talk about Luna like that, I'm going to fucking kill you!" he roared out in anger. He then dodged to the side as the fiery spear struck through the ground and flew up, with flames flaring around the entry point and where the attack hit the ceiling and exploded into a swirling firestorm. Gabriel dodged and weaved back as more spears struck up through the floor below him, the room around him burning and starting to collapse as the sprinkler systems were annihilated and water was turned to steam from the heat. The angel then flew back and out a door into a hall just as the server room collapsed into a firestorm and burnt rubble. A spear of fire was struck through from below while Rathieal swung upwards with it, the dark being striking through the floor as Gabriel dodged to the side. The dark being swung around with the fiery weapon, razing through walls and small tables as people around the area screamed and ran off in terror.
"As soon as that girl is returned to her new home she'll serve her only purpose in life, a purpose far greater than anything she could have done in this world. She'll give birth to perfect soldiers for my master, soldiers of incredible power and destruction, soldiers that will help my king rule all that is truly his!" Rathieal laughed. Gabriel yelled and grabbed the spear of fire, his hands burning as he glared at the dark being with glowing eyes. Rathieal stared at him with surprise as the angel held the attack in place.
"You'll never have her back, I'll never allow it!" Gabriel yelled before he swung the dark being around by the spear, throwing him over into a wall and crashing him into an office. Rathieal tumbled through chairs and a table while Gabriel clenched his fists, smoke coming up from them in wisps as he glared at the dark being with fury.
"My friends will deal with your reinforcements outside, you however will be sentenced to hell by me personally," he declared with hatred. Rathieal threw his spear towards Gabriel, the angel dodging to the side then flying towards the dark being as the weapon exploded into red and purple flames behind him.
"If you want Luna you'll have to go through me!" Gabriel roared before he swung towards Rathieal with a fierce punch.
"You want Luna? You're gonna have to go through me!" Felucia yelled before running towards the dark troll. Apoch ran after with her glowing blade while Astreal kept her aim on the evil creature and remaining back by Moka and Mizore, the two girls staring with awe at seeing Felucia before them once again.
"I don't believe it, she's… how is she back again?" Moka asked shaking her head while holding the catatonic chronofly in her arms still. Mizore watched with wonder as Felucia leapt up with a kick at the troll, the dark being swinging its spiked steel club at her. The girl was whacked to the side with a loud crack while Apoch raced up towards the monster with her sword geared back.
"Ms. Felucia!" she yelled out as she swung her blade. The troll swung his weapon back around, the witch then slicing it apart with a powerful swing of her barrier sword. Apoch jumped up and swung again, the monster then grabbing her by the waist with his other hand as it glowed with purple and yellow wisps. Felucia tumbled into a violent roll and crashed through a table with power tools and bricks on it, taking it down with her off to the side.
"Sister!" Astreal cried out as she tried to aim at the troll's face. The monster held Apoch up before it as she screamed and struck her blade into the arm of the monster, then shrieked as electricity shot through her. She jerked about wildly as her sword flickered then vanished, leaving a bloody hole through the monster's arm that it didn't seem to pay any mind to.
"Apoch!" Mizore yelled out as she ran towards them with her frozen katana geared back. The troll started to apply pressure to Apoch's body, the girl letting out a hoarse cry as she twitched about in its grip. Astreal tried to get a good shot in but withheld from firing, feeling doubt that she might strike through her sister. Mizore ran over and swung her blade towards the side of the monster, the troll swinging at her with its other fist. She gracefully spun around the strike as it slammed into the ground behind her then followed through with a swing of her blade, striking it into the flesh of the monster and cutting down to the bone. The troll then whacked her away with its arm, the snow girl sliding back along the ground quickly before slamming into a stone pillar with a painful gasp. Moka watched as Mizore struggled to move while Apoch screamed from being electrocuted.
"Oh god, no!" Moka cried out.
"Put her down!" Astreal screamed out with tears forming as she saw her sister screaming in agony.
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!
The troll staggered forward with a painful howl as its electrical attack stopped, with Apoch coughing and struggling to breathe again as the monster's grip loosened slightly. Mizore watched as the monster howled in pain from five large steel nails being lodged into its back and neck. Walking past the snow maiden Felucia took aim with a nail gun in each hand, her eyes glaring at the beast as the other girls looked over to her with surprise.
"You heard her, put her down now!" Felucia yelled before firing off more of the large nails, striking the troll all over its backside and the back of its head. The monster howled as it dropped Apoch, the witch falling to the ground with a gasp, then swung its hand over towards Felucia and Mizore, sending out a wave of searing hot magical shards of light towards them. Felucia dropped the guns then tackled Mizore into a roll away from the area, with the wave of destructive light tearing through the concrete and annihilating the pillar. The ceiling above trembled slightly and cracked apart in some areas as the troll roared at the two girls it had missed with its attack.
"Astreal, fire!" Felucia yelled at the witch while she was lying atop Mizore, the snow maiden looking up at her with wonder still. Astreal took aim and fired her magical bolt of energy towards the monster, the red light streaking through the air and piercing through the monster's shoulder. The dark being howled then swung back around with its magical arm, sending out a wave of magical glowing shards towards Astreal and Moka. Apoch rolled to the side as the attack razed through the ground where she just was then held her hand out towards her sister, manifesting a wall of light that the wave of shards struck and deflected off to the side from. The troll roared before Apoch jumped back onto her feet and raced towards the monster while forming her barrier blade in one hand. The witch leapt up and swung her blade through the hand of the monster, with purple and yellow streaks of light circling around its arm still. The monster then swung at her again before a bolt of red light struck through the side of its head and took its ear off, the dark being letting out a hoarse howl as Astreal opened fired on it. Apoch dodged to the side as the bolts of red light pelted the monster and tore through its body, the troll roaring loudly before it swung down with its magical arm and hit the ground. An explosion of magical shards struck out like a wave, some of them even slicing apart the troll's feet in the process. Apoch gasped and formed her barrier just as the shards reached her, the magical wave plowing against the shield and pushing her back along the ground at high speed as she screamed. Felucia gasped as the lights tore up the ground towards her and Mizore then grabbed hold of the snow maiden and rolled to the side, then with a mighty throw hurled the snow girl away before the shards struck through and carved her into pieces.
"Felucia!" Mizore cried out before she dropped down into a large metal trash container, landing on a pile of loose cardboard boxes and packing bubbles before a few of the shards struck into the side of the container with loud strikes. Mizore stared with wide eyes at the glowing shards of light as they came to a stop just a hair before they would have carved through her chest.
"Look out!" Astreal cried out as she tried to erect a barrier between the wave of shards and Moka who was behind her. The wave of light struck the barrier and shattered it instantly, with Astreal being thrown back into Moka while the glowing shards of light razed through the ground towards them. The girls' screams were heard as dust billowed around from the concrete being torn apart while the shards razed through where they were and slammed into the wall behind them. The ceiling cracked some more as the place rumbled briefly. Apoch skidded to a stop then deflected the wave of glowing shards away from her with her shield, watching as they tore past her along the ground and sliced a stack of metal beams to pieces violently. Dust and smoke billowed away from the ravaged grounds where the magical attack flowed through, with the dark troll howling and dropping to its knees as it breathed heavily. Its legs were torn up, its arms were bleeding, it had nails all over its backside and back of its head, and one of its hands was hanging off by a few strands of flesh and severed bone. Apoch growled then raced towards the monster as it was looking over in the direction of where Moka, Astreal, and Luna were which was obscured by smoke and dust.
"Please fucking die already!" Apoch yelled out as she lunged up into the air, the troll looking up to seeing the witch flying down towards it with her blade held in both hands and her skirt fluttering while revealing her black panties. With a mighty swing she sliced down through the monster's head and into its chest cavity, the slick crunch echoing out along with a burst of blood that shot out behind the troll. The monster wavered then dropped back dead with a loud thud as Apoch glared at it with hatred. She then looked over to see Mizore climbing out of the metal trash container she was in, the snow maiden looking with wonder at the downed troll then over to where Felucia was diced to pieces.
"Felucia… oh no, she… no, not again!" Mizore cried out. Apoch looked at the dismembered demon with sorrow then wonder as a soft bluish green light came from a band of energy around a dissected wrist. Mizore and Apoch watched as the pieces of the doll demon shifted around then slowly melded back together, the body taking shape and slowly standing up again as it healed completely. Even the clothing manifested back into place as the doll demon stretched out her arms casually.
"Calm down Mizore, no need to get all broken up about lil 'ol me," she said with a wink at the snow girl. Mizore stared at her with wonder while Apoch did the same.
"You're… really back," Mizore said quietly with awe. Felucia smirked then looked over to where the dust cloud was settling down.
"Hey, are you all ok?" she called out. Mizore and Apoch looked over to see Astreal coughing and standing back up again amidst a ravaged concrete floor.
"Yes, I believe I am," she said as she stumbled to her feet.
"AHHHHH!" Moka shrieked from nearby. The girls all looked over to where Moka was shakily sitting up with a look of horror on her face. She screamed at the top of her lungs as the dust cloud settled, revealing Luna's body having been cleaved into three sections across the shoulders and waist. Her bloody remains were lying on the concrete ground which was torn up underneath her.
"MS. LUNA!" Apoch and Astreal cried out.
"NO!" Felucia screamed as the all the girls all ran over to the body.
"No… LUNA!" Moka screamed as she started crying. All the girls stared in horror at the sight, seeing the same lifeless gaze in the chronofly's eyes while her body was lying in pieces on the ground with a small amount of blood now forming a pool around the remains.
"No… this can't be… she isn't… no! LUNA!" Felucia cried out as she dropped to her knees. Mizore held a hand over her mouth as she stared at the ravaged body with horror while Apoch and Astreal started crying. Moka shakily held a hand towards Luna while she slowly shook her head.
"Luna… I… I'm so sorry… I'm sorry!" she cried out.
"No! Luna!" Mizore cried out as she dropped to her knees next to Felucia.
"I can't believe this… she's… she's dead," Felucia said with horror. Moka broke down crying and held the head and upper shoulders of the chronofly.
"I'm sorry, I tried to protect you Luna, I'm so sorry!" she cried out. Apoch and Astreal hung their heads low as they cried softly while Mizore rested her head on Felucia's shoulder and cried. Felucia stared at the body with disbelief and sorrow and slowly shook her head. She blinked then looked at the body with a gasp.
"What the hell?" she said with surprise. The group looked to seeing the body of the chronofly slowly dissolving and vanishing into white smoke and dust. The girls watched with surprise as the body broke down and turned into a pile of white dust.
"Wh… what the?" Moka said quietly.
"Wait, what just happened?" Mizore asked wiping her eyes. Felucia slowly held her hand out and touched the dust.
"That… that wasn't Luna," she said with disbelief.
"That wasn't?" Apoch and Astreal asked together.
"What the hell is this? Wha… what the fuck is this?" Felucia yelled as she stumbled back to her feet. Moka and Mizore stood up and looked down at the pile of dust with cautious eyes.
"I don't get it, that wasn't Luna?" Moka asked.
"That had to have been Luna! For god's sake I broke into that asshole's stupid castle in his world; I just barely got her out of there in one piece! I saw his demons raping her, they were fucking gang raping the shit out of her; that was her, I know it was!" Felucia cried out. The girls looked to her with wonder as she grabbed her hair and growled furiously.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me! I went through all that trouble and put my soul's life on the line only to take away a fucking doll? What the hell is going on here?" she yelled out. She stomped her foot down, with a crack etching through the concrete as she growled with frustration.
"I don't get it, if that wasn't Luna then why did all these assholes come down here looking for her? They were coming after her with a fucking demon the size of Alucard, how was that not her?" she demanded looking to Apoch and Astreal.
"I don't understand either; they surely wanted her back, but… if that was just a doll you found…" Apoch said with concern.
"Then where is the real Ms. Luna?" Astreal asked worriedly. Moka looked down to the pile of white dust with caution.
'What is going on here? The monster outside even said they were here to take her back, but this isn't Luna at all.'
'There's only one explanation for why they would be after this doll like they are.'
"They don't know," Moka said softly. The girls looked to her as she turned to them with a careful expression.
"They don't know, the dark world and this evil king, they don't know that Luna's wasn't there anymore. If Felucia took this doll out from their grasp while it was being raped, that must mean that… that…" she said before looking down in thought.
"Somebody else got her out of there first, the dark king never noticed she was missing until Felucia took the fake," Mizore said with wonder.
"She was switched out for a double," Apoch said looking down at the dust.
"Switched out by who, and why? And more importantly, if she's not up above in that world and not here with us, then where is she?" Astreal asked worriedly.
"What do you mean?" Luna asked curiously as the boy next to her smiled calmly at her.
"I mean there may be a chance you could help from here, depending on how lucky you are," the boy said with a shrug.
"I don't understand, what are you talking about?" Luna asked shaking her head.
"Allow me to clarify. Did you know I've always been a fan of the concept of 'chance'? It's always intrigued me; the thrill of winning or losing something all on mere luck, I believe that's known as gambling in this world," the boy said while reaching into his pocket casually. Luna watched him curiously as the boy took something out and held it in his hand.
"As powerful as I am, I prefer to base my power on that concept; that thrill. It's a little passion of mine you see," he said calmly. Luna looked at him carefully as he set down a pair of rolling dice on the table, the black cubes having green dots adoring the sides.
"You rely on the concept of luck to drive your magic? That seems very dangerous and unstable," Luna said shaking her head.
"Well, all magic is dangerous my dear, mine is no exception. But that's what makes it exciting to me, it would be boring if there were no stakes or penalties, and I just love being entertained with the worlds around me," the boy reasoned with a shrug. Luna looked at him curiously then to the TV reports as an image of a building within the city under attack was bursting apart from the inside with bright red and purple flames. People in the streets were fleeing in a panic while the large building started to rumble and shift around slightly.
"Oh my god, those people are going to be killed," Luna said fearfully.
"I can see how much you wish to protect them, you are indeed a very selfless and caring individual," the boy said with a calm smile. Luna watched the reports then looked to the boy urgently.
"Please, what are you talking about, how can I help stop this?" she pleaded. The boy nodded and motioned towards his dice.
"Simple, you and I are going to play a little game."
"Dammit, where could she be then?" Felucia asked with desperation.
"I have no idea, but if she's not here we need to find our friends and get out of here ourselves," Moka said looking to Mizore. The snow maiden nodded then everybody looked up as a loud squawk was heard above in the sky.
"That thing's going to go on a rampage looking for a chronofly who isn't here," Apoch said shaking her head. She blinked then looked to Felucia puzzled.
"Wait, I couldn't cut through that thing's leg earlier with my sword, how did Mr. Gabriel free you and Ms. Luna?" she asked.
"He didn't, somebody else did. She's a tough fighter, really tough," Felucia said looking to Moka with a cool smile. The vampire looked at her puzzled as Felucia glanced to Apoch and Astreal with an expectant nod, the sisters nodding slowly as they understood who she was talking about.
"Oh, yes, her," Apoch said looking up with wonder.
"Somebody else? Who?" Moka asked.
"Ms. Moka, you're never going to believe who we found out there," Astreal said shaking her head slowly. Moka looked at them curiously while Mizore showed a puzzled expression still.
"Let's head out and find the others, you've got to see this to believe it Moka," Felucia said with a confident smile. Moka looked at her with wonder then up at the sky as another loud squawk from the rylo was heard.
"And… what do we do about that thing?" Moka asked.
"Hopefully with all of us together we can stop it, we have to regroup and put a stop to these dark monsters before they make us look even more evil in the eyes of humans," Apoch said readying her barrier blade. Astreal nodded as her magical wings took form again behind her. Moka nodded then looked at Felucia curiously.
"Felucia, how… how are you here again?" she asked. Felucia chuckled and shrugged.
"What? I was getting bored down in hell, I couldn't stop by to say hello?" she asked with a laugh. Moka showed a small smile then a worried expression.
"You're… still dead aren't you? You're a disembodied soul," she said softly. Felucia nodded while remaining quiet, showing a small remorseful smile. Moka looked at her friend with regret then smiled a little.
"It's good to see you again though, we've missed you," she said genuinely. Felucia chuckled then hugged the vampire tightly, the pinked haired girl smiling weakly as she was lifted off the ground.
"Well I've missed you all too. I heard how you all killed Hokuto and wiped Alucard off the face of the earth, never had a doubt you guys couldn't handle it," she said with a laugh before setting the vampire down. Moka smiled amusedly at her friend and nodded. Felucia smirked then looked to Mizore, the snow girl staring at her with a worried expression.
"Felucia…" she said softly.
"C'mon Mizore, don't tell me you're scared of a little fight like this," Felucia mused shaking her head.
"Little? Um, have you seen the size of that thing up there?" Astreal said with disbelief while pointing up. Mizore shook her head slowly as she showed a remorseful expression.
"Felucia… I…" she said softly. She trembled for a moment then quickly hugged Felucia tightly, the demon looking ahead with a gentle gaze.
"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry I got you killed! I didn't mean to drop the shell like that, it was an accident!" she cried out before she started sobbing. Felucia showed a remorseful smile and held her as the snow maiden cried into her shoulder.
"I'm sorry Felucia; I tried to save you but… I failed. Please forgive me," Mizore said shaking her head while crying.
"You came after me Mizore, that's what matters, I thought I told you this before," Felucia said gently.
"Why did you save me though? You could have saved yourself, maybe even have been with Dark afterwards, why did you give your life for me like that?" Mizore whimpered. She leaned back to see Felucia smiling gently at her.
"I love Dark, I always will Mizore. I want that demon to be happy, no matter what. And what he wants more than anything is you, he always has. There's no way I could have let you die back in that ship, I would have let part of Dark die as well," she reasoned. Mizore sniffled and wiped a tear from her eye as Felucia shook her head slowly and amusedly.
"You're his wife, there's no way any other deserves that title more than you, not even me. Besides, you're my comrade too you know, I would always make that choice for you," she said softly.
"Felucia…" Mizore said quietly.
"Don't ever say sorry for coming after me Mizore, it meant the world to me that you did. I don't regret my actions or what came of them, I never have once. So stop feeling guilty about something that was out of your control," Felucia said shaking Mizore lightly. The snow girl nodded slowly and looked down. Felucia smiled gently and nodded then looked around.
"Is Dark here? Did he come after us?" she asked.
"No, he's back at the villa, there was… another problem that had to be dealt with," Moka said with concern.
"That other flying demon that chased me there, yeah I remember. I bet Dark shot it right out of the sky no sweat though," Felucia said confidently. Apoch and Astreal glanced to each other then away while Moka nodded slowly with a forced smile.
"Yes, I'm sure he did," Moka said before glancing to Mizore. The snow girl looked away while wiping the tears from her eyes, wondering how her demon was doing back at the villa with both the dark flyer from above and Arial.
"Well then let's get the others and clean up this mess, the faster we do that the faster I can say hello to him again. Boy is he going to be surprised to see me, what are the odds he would see a disembodied soul like me in person?" Felucia laughed.
"Greater than you would think," Apoch said quietly while looking away.
"What was that?" Felucia asked looking to her. Apoch turned to her with a forced smile and shook her head.
"Nothing Ms. Felucia, still, we'd better be going, we must hurry before the HDA shows up," she reasoned.
"The who?" Felucia asked.
"The Human Defense Agency, they're against monsters living in the human world and are trying to kill us. We'll explain everything Felucia, but for now we need to be careful what we do here in public. This isn't like it was yesterday, we can't kill any humans or else we'll seal away our chances of forming peace with them again," Moka explained.
"Human Defense Agency? Yesterday? Peace?" Felucia asked shaking her head.
"Just follow us Ms. Felucia, and please do not seriously injure any humans while we are here in the city," Astreal said waving them towards the end of the hall where the exit was. Moka and the sisters started running towards it while Felucia and Mizore remained and looked to one another.
"Um, what have I been missing here?" Felucia asked simply.
"We'll explain later," Mizore said with a shrug, the two girls then running after the others.
"Alright, but define 'seriously injure'," Felucia called out as they made haste for their friends back in the streets.
Up above the city the rylo screeched loudly as it circled about in the air over the central district, its remaining eye scanning the area below for any search of the chronofly that it was under orders to bring back alive to the dark world. It flapped its massive wings as it soared around slowly in the sky, casting a large shadow down onto the city below while people were screaming and running around in a panic. Cars were crashing into each other in their haste to flee the city while rescue workers and police officials were scrambling to evacuate people while putting out fires. Among the streets several HDA armored transport trucks were driving towards a reported monster outbreak in the streets, the soldiers inside armed with rifles, grenades, and other heavy weaponry as they made their way towards their targets.
Up in the sky a few HDA fighter jets raced through the air towards the rylo, the four armed crafts firing missiles at the large target over the city. The projectiles slammed into it and exploded yet did no visible damage to the massive flyer. The rylo squawked and looked towards the fighters as they swarmed around it. Two of them opened fired with their machine guns while the others fired more missiles at it, all of the attacks appearing to do no harm to the demon. The rylo screeched as electrical arcs zapped around between its many spines along its back.
"This is Specter 4, missiles are not having an effect on the target, we need heavier ordinance up here," one of the pilots called out.
"What the hell is it doing? We're seeing some strange lights running along its back," another pilot called out.
The rylo let out a screech as a powerful field of electrical energy crackled and rapidly flew out around it in a giant sphere, the fighter jets being hit and exploding into fiery wreckages while a few bolts of lightning from the airborne demon struck down onto a nearby skyscraper. The building's top floors were instantly blasted into an inferno while chunks of debris crashed down towards the city below.
Down in the streets Akasha was looking up at seeing the building a block away being struck by the rylo, watching as the demon exuded a great amount of electrical energy.
"That thing is going to be a problem," she said simply.
"Watch out lady!" Render called out, with Akasha then looking to see the giant brute swinging its broadsword down towards her. The vampire raised her sword up and blocked the strike with both hands, the ground under her shattering from the force as she held the large blade up over her head. Render stared with wide eyes as the woman had stopped the large attack from the brute with what appeared to be no effort. Akasha smirked then glanced to Render.
"I thought you would be taking care of this thing; surely you wouldn't let it harm a lady such as I, would you?" she mused playfully. Render blinked then smiled curiously.
"Just what are you anyway?" he asked. Akasha chuckled lightly then swung down with her blade, throwing the brute's attack down onto the ground next to her. She then jumped over and kicked off of the blade towards the monster's head, swinging her sword and striking across its face. The monster howled as its nose was razed through then swung its other hand around, hitting Akasha and knocking her off to the side. She spun around then landed down on the pavement from the powerful hit, skidding backwards as her boots sparked and cracked the pavement under her before she came to a stop. The brute roared at her before looking over to see Render leaping up and striking down with both of his swords at the monster's wrist. The battlemage stuck down and slashed through the flesh down to the bone, once again coming to a swift halt before the brute yanked its arm back up and threw the boy off to the side. The brute then swung down with its sword at Render, the mage rolling to the side before the large broadsword slammed into the pavement behind him and knocked him away from the force of the hit.
"Dammit, why won't your hands come off?" Render yelled out at the monster as he stumbled back to his feet. The brute geared back to swing at Render again before a flash of light struck through its wrist, the monster howling as its hand holding the broadsword was cleaved off by a fierce strike by Akasha. The brute roared out furiously as Akasha smirked at Render.
"Let's go with you softened that up for me, shall we?" she asked casually. Render looked at her with wonder then smiled arrogantly.
"Damn straight I did lady," he said with a laugh. The brute roared and swung around, knocking Akasha off her feet and over into a parked truck, the woman crashing through the backside cargo hull and flying out the other side, hitting against the wall of a building feet first as she braced from the hit while stopping in place above the sidewalk. The wall cracked severely before the woman leapt off with incredible force, flying back through the hole in the truck and out into the street. She touched down with one foot on the pavement then jumped up into the air while gearing her blade back behind her. Render watched as the woman stuck down her sword at the brute and sliced off the arm that had the stump for a wrist with one swing. The monster howled as Akasha landed back down behind it and looked to Render with a curious smile.
"Again, allowing something like that thing try to harm a lady isn't the gentleman thing to do," she said shaking her head. Render just stared at her with wonder and a raised eyebrow then smiled curiously.
"You seem to be handling yourself alright so far," he said with a shrug. Akasha smirked slightly with an amused murmur then looked back to seeing the brute gearing back with its remaining arm to swing down with its sword. Akasha and Render leapt away as the brute slammed its sword into the ground with a loud yell, the monster then swinging its blade out and around wildly as the two fighters backed up.
"Did you want me to take its other arm off as well, or do you think you can actually fight it now?" Akasha asked casually while glancing to Render. The battlemage smirked and stood his ground as the brute geared back with its sword.
"Please, I could handle this thing with one hand myself," he boasted, then tossed up his angular blade high into the air. The brute swung down with its sword at him, the mage darting forward and rolling towards its legs as the broadsword struck down into the pavement. Render rolled between the monster's legs then spun his straightedge sword around, slicing through the heel of the brute. The giant dark monster roared and stumbled around before Render darted over and sliced through the other heel of the beast then jumped back as the monster wobbled around while unable to stand properly. Render's angular sword dropped back down overhead into the battlemage's hand, the boy smiling confidently as the large brute stumbled and fell over to the side with a loud roar. Render then raced over and leapt into the air as the brute tried to push itself back up with its remaining arm.
"And stay down!" Render shouted before he landed back down and drove his straightedge blade into the monster's spine. The brute snarled and twitched then dropped down with a loud thud as Render stood atop it with a cool smile on his face.
"See? Piece of cake," he said arrogantly. Akasha nodded slowly with an amused smile before a loud crash and explosion blasted out from behind her through a building, with a dark scaled spider demon stumbling out of the destroyed wall while hissing. Gin was stumbling around underneath it while trying to push the dismembered demon's leg up through the monster's body. Akasha then spun around and threw her blade towards the monster, the shimmering blade streaking through the air and striking into the skull of the demon with a slick crunch. The demon wavered then collapsed down to the side as Gin stared at Akasha with surprise. The woman walked over and grabbed her sword, then looked back to Render with a cool smile of her own while yanking the blade out sharply.
"Well, if you say so," she said simply with a shrug.
"Wha… who is this?" Gin asked looking at the woman while tossing the spider's leg aside. Render looked at Akasha curiously then to Gin with a shrug.
"The mother of all swordswomen everywhere and a certified badass," he reasoned. Akasha chuckled amusedly as Gin looked at her curiously. The three then looked over to see Kokoa leaping up and kicking the behemoth again while further down the street, the redhead being completely naked and having fire flaring around her wildly. The behemoth took the kick and skidded back while its feet tore up the pavement, howling loudly as Kokoa growled at it while her monster energy continued to multiply. Akasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow while Render turned away to avoid eye contact with the naked vampire.
"This may be a silly question I'm sure, but why is Kokoa naked and on fire?" Akasha asked simply.
"Something about her monster energy and charging up and her just being a very volatile kind of girl I think," Render said with a shrug while still looking away.
"How do you know her name? Who are you?" Gin asked looking to Akasha.
Kokoa growled as her power surged through her, the girl's feet digging into the pavement slightly while causing the ground to smoke from the heat she was exuding. The behemoth roared and charged her again, the vampire then racing forward and leaping up into a powerful kick. The monster tried to swing at her with its arm, the girl grabbing it and somersaulting over it while following through with her kick. With a mighty yell the girl struck through the monster's head, the force of the hit blasting the skull and top of its torso off into a bloody mess that splattered back across the road. Kokoa landed down on the other side of the monster, blood and bone fragments raining down around her onto the ground, and then leapt back towards the monster with a powerful punch. As soon as she struck it the monster and ground below them exploded violently as all her energy was unleashed. Dust and debris flew out from the impact along with chunks of the demon that were pulverized and thrown about. Gin and Render looked back over to see the dust cloud swirling around from the powerful attack while bits of the demon were scattered about along the road.
"Um, I think she got him," Render said simply with a shrug. Gin glanced to Akasha then raced over towards where his girlfriend would be unconscious. Akasha then took off after him, with Render following quickly as well. Gin ran through the dust cloud and looked around, searching through the haze as sirens were heard getting closer. He looked around then spotted Kokoa lying naked in a small carter in the road, the girl's hair lying freely on the ground while her skin didn't have a single burn or scratch on it.
"She really is incredible," Gin said softly with wonder. Akasha and Render ran over to see Gin kneeling down next to the young vampire and looking her over.
"Is she alright?" Akasha asked. Gin nodded then looked back to her.
"She'll be fine, but who are you and how do you know her?" he asked. Render glanced over then saw Leon running towards them while carrying some shopping bags.
"Dude, what are you doing? Now's not the time to go shopping," Render said shaking his head. Leon ran over to the group then looked up while holding the bags out to Gin.
"She wanted me to pick her up some clothing for when she collapsed like this, so um, here," Leon said with a shrug. Gin looked at the bags then quickly took them while Akasha continued to look at Kokoa curiously.
"She had you do her shopping?" Render asked with a raised eyebrow. Leon glanced to him and nodded then looked to Akasha.
"Um, who is this?" he asked as Gin began to dress Kokoa with new clothing. Leon had managed to find new white panties and a bra that fit her, white and light green sandals, a pink mini skirt that was maybe slightly shorter than her previous one, a white shirt and a hot pink half sleeved jacket that had gray and green stripes across the sides. He even had brought two new red bows to help fix the girl's hair up into her usual pigtail style. As the werewolf got the girl dressed, being very quick about it as he had practice doing this with her, sirens were starting to get louder along with loud honking from trucks.
"I believe we have company coming," Akasha pointed out looking around cautiously. Leon looked at her carefully then around as the sirens were getting closer. From down the other side of the street Moka's group raced out of the shopping center from a side exit, the girls looking around quickly to seeing the ravaged street then over to find the other group gathered together.
"Hey, you guys!" Moka called out as they ran towards them. She stopped and looked up to seeing the rylo circling around above, the demon letting out another squawk as the vampire then looked around at seeing the city going into panic mode. The other group looked over to them as Gin finished getting Kokoa dressed, the werewolf lifting the sleeping vampire into his arms and holding her securely.
"We've got a problem!" Apoch called out.
"Besides the entire city going to chaos around us, what else is wrong?" Render asked as the girls ran up to them with Moka still lingering behind and looking around worriedly at all the damage that was being caused by the dark world's monsters. She looked back to seeing people fleeing the street further away while sirens were getting closer.
"This is a disaster," she said shaking her head.
"That wasn't Ms. Luna we rescued, it was a decoy," Astreal explained. The other group looked at her puzzled.
"What? A decoy?" Gin asked.
"Yes, the body turned to dust inside, it was a fake. The real Luna is still out there somewhere," Mizore explained.
"What?" Akasha said with concern.
"So if that wasn't your friend, then does that mean… she's still up in that other world?" Render asked looking up. Apoch shook her head and looked up as well.
"We don't believe so. These other monsters came down here looking to take that double back up with them, they believed it was the real Ms. Luna as well. It appears somebody else managed to rescue her from above before any of us got to her," she reasoned.
"Yeah, I risked my soul's existence to bring back a lifeless doll, fucking sucks," Felucia grunted looking up as well. Gin glanced to her with wonder.
"Well I'll be, you really are here again," he said. Felucia smirked at him and shrugged.
"Admit it Gin, it was boring here without me," she mused. The werewolf nodded and chuckled.
"Well, things certainly have gotten pretty lively around here, do we have you to thank for that?" he asked. Felucia giggled then looked over behind her, the group then looking to see Moka running towards them again.
"This isn't good, we need to stop that thing up there and get out of the city before-" she said before stopping in place, staring at someone with wide eyes. Everybody looked at her then to Akasha as Felucia glanced to Moka and smirked. The world around Moka seemed to quiet down as she stared at the woman with wonder.
"Hello again Moka," Akasha said gently with a smile.
"Moka? You know her?" Gin asked.
"Who is this?" Mizore asked.
"Mother," Moka breathed out. The group looked to her with surprise then to Akasha except for Felucia and the witch sisters. Akasha smiled gently at her daughter and walked up towards her.
"I wasn't aware that I would be seeing you so soon my dear, my how you've grown into a lovely woman," she said kindly. Moka stared at her with disbelief, images of the woman flashing before her eyes from when she was younger and living back at home with her father. The image of her mother wearing an elegant red and white dress came before her then faded to reveal the woman standing before her wearing armor and holding a sword, the elder vampire appearing to be the same age still while her pink hair flowed gently behind her.
"Mother… is it… really you?" Moka asked with tears forming in her eyes.
'Am I seeing things?'
'Is it really… her?'
"Yes Moka, it's really me," Akasha said gently.
"This is your mother? But… how?" Gin said with disbelief. Before anyone could say a word the sirens started to grow louder as tires screeching were heard nearby. The group looked around to seeing several HDA armored trucks and police cars swerving into the street from nearby intersections. The vehicles approached the scene then quickly came to a halt, with policemen getting out and aiming their guns at the group from behind their doors while soldiers started to disembark from the trucks and approach the group from both sides. A few news crews drove up in their vans with reporters and cameramen jumping out quickly and rushing towards the scene. Policemen tried to hold them back while the HDA soldiers rushed over towards the group while aiming their rifles at them.
"Nobody move, hands in the air now!" one yelled out.
"End of the line monsters!" another shouted out.
"Wait, hold it, we're on your side!" Render pleaded while holding his hands up, while holding his giant swords.
"Then stop waving your swords around at them!" Leon barked out at him while raising his hands as well. Render quickly dropped the large weapons down onto the ground with a nervous smile while Apoch and Astreal dissolved their barrier sword and wings.
"Wait, don't shoot!" the sisters said in unison while raising their hands.
"Stop, we're not bad monsters, please!" Moka pleaded while raising her hands.
"Don't be foolish gentlemen, we're not the ones you should be pointing your weapons at," Akasha cautioned while keeping her hands up and dropping her sword. Moka glanced around at the soldiers surrounding them, seeing them readying to fire and gun the group down.
"Please, listen to us, we're on your side!" she pleaded loudly.
"They're all monsters, take them down!" a soldier called out. Moka shook her head and quickly stepped forth.
"I'm begging you to listen to me, we're not evil!" she cried out. The soldiers glared at her as she looked around at them with fearful eyes. Over by the sidelines a news crew snuck through an alleyway and started filming the standoff, the cameraman panning around to seeing the group of monsters surrounded by HDA soldiers.
"Moka!" Luna cried out as she saw the pink haired vampire on the TV, the image showing armed soldiers surrounding a group of monsters in the street.
"Well I'll be, Moka Akashiya, Mizore Shirayuki, and Kokoa Shuzen, what are the odds indeed?" the boy next to her chuckled. Luna looked to him with surprise.
"You know them? You know my friends?" she asked quickly.
"In a manner of speaking, yes. I don't know them as you do, but I do know them as I do," the boy said with a shrug. Luna looked at him with confusion then back to the TV.
"Oh my god, I have to go help them!" Luna said as she started to get up. The boy next to her quickly grabbed her hand and yanked her back down; the girl looking to him with desperation as he slowly shook his head.
"Luna, you know very well you can't go out there. I need to keep you hidden, and I can't do that if you regroup with those that are being watched by my father," he said calmly.
"But they're going to be executed," Luna pleaded as she tried to free her hand. She stopped when the boy looked to her with his differently colored eyes.
"Luna, sit down and be quiet, you're causing a scene," he said expectantly. Luna glanced around then looked to him with pleading eyes.
"Please, let me go help them," she said worriedly.
"You are to sit there and be quiet Luna, understand?" the boy said knowingly. The girl paused for a moment then nodded slowly. The boy smirked then looked back to the TV as did Luna.
"Good, now let's see what she has to say," he said calmly as he let go of Luna's hand. She glanced to him nervously then to the TV, knowing she wouldn't be able to run away from him even if she wanted to.
"Please, we're not evil monsters like the ones attacking your city, we're trying to help," Moka pleaded.
"Help? We don't need help from monsters like you, every one of you damned things are all the same!" a soldier yelled out.
"That's not true, we risked our lives to stop Alucard from destroying your world; we wanted to protect you all. We're not evil," Moka pleaded while shaking her head.
"You fought against that giant monster? You're the ones that broke out of containment yesterday, you're the ones that destroyed our command center and took the lives of many human beings!" a soldier yelled out. Another soldier walked up towards Moka and aimed his rifle at her head, the girl staring at him with fright.
"We just wanted to free ourselves; you arrested and blamed us for something we didn't do! We had to defend ourselves, you gave us no choice!" Moka reasoned.
Luna watched with fright as the soldier was standing next to Moka with his rifle to her head at pointblank. The chronofly shook her head then looked to the boy next to her.
"Please, you said I could help somehow, what can I do?" she asked desperately. The boy glanced to her then to his dice on the table.
"Simple, we can play a game of chance. You see, I can alter reality beyond what you would consider being possible, as you've no doubt have noticed by now," he explained. Luna looked to the dice then to him as he turned to face her with a casual smile.
"However, to keep things interesting I prefer to gamble with my dice, to wager something of great value against something else of great value," he continued.
"You use your dice to determine what your magic will do?" Luna asked looking to the dice. The boy nodded and held them up to show her the sides.
"Here are the rules of my games, listen closely. We take turns rolling to win what we wish to obtain. Rolling a snake eyes means I win, rolling two sixes means you win. If we roll doubles of any other pairing we roll again, otherwise we take turns until there is a victor," he explained. Luna looked at the dice worriedly then to the TV. The boy nodded and sat back in his seat.
"You wish to help them? You want that big bad demon in the air to go away and for your friends to be safe from the humans that are about to kill them where they stand?" he asked. Luna looked to him urgently and nodded.
"Yes, please, can you make all that happen?" she asked quickly.
"I could, if you're specific with declaring your wish. Tell me what it is you want to happen to the best of your ability and then we can roll to see if it'll happen should you win," the boy reasoned. Luna looked at him worriedly then to the dice.
"And… if you win?" she asked.
"Well, I do like to gamble big and for something of fair value in comparison to what I'm asked of doing. So, tell me, what is it you will gamble for?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Luna looked at him then to TV with worried eyes. After a moment she looked back to the boy.
"I want that giant demon to be completely destroyed and not to harm the city, and I want my friends to be spared from being executed," she said hopefully. The boy nodded and tilted his head slightly.
"That's a pretty big order, the odds of that happening are realistically near zero," he pointed out amusedly.
"That's what I want to roll for, please," Luna begged. The boy nodded and smiled slyly at her.
"Very well, it is within reason for me to do, however that's a very powerful wish you're asking for, and so I'll be wanting something of great value to be wagered in return," he reasoned.
"What is it then, what do you want?" Luna asked. The boy looked at her for a moment then leaned forward on the table with a slick smile while setting the dice down between them.
"Your heart," he said. Luna looked at him with surprise as the boy chuckled.
"Yes, gambling for a fair woman's heart has always been something I love to do, and you are indeed quite a catch my little butterfly. If I win, your heart will belong to me forever," he reasoned. Luna looked at him with shock while holding a hand over her heart.
"My heart?" she asked quietly. The boy nodded and leaned back with a simple shrug.
"You don't have to roll if you don't want to Luna, I'm not forcing you. However if you wish to gamble big than so will I, it's only fair," he said calmly. Luna looked at him with nervous eyes then to the TV as Moka was trying to reason with the human soldiers, all of them keeping their rifles poised to gun the group of monsters down in the street. Luna hesitated then looked to the boy nervously.
"If you wish to roll for a lucky break for your friends then go ahead, otherwise we'll just sit here and watch what happens," the boy said simply. Luna glanced to the dice then to the boy worriedly. He had the power to supposedly save all her friends, however she would be taking the chance that she would forfeit her heart to him forever should she lose his game. She had often seen the boy casually tossing his dice up and catching them while she had been staying with him in the fancy hotel he had brought her to. It was apparent that they were special to him in some way, and now it was clear why. He loved to gamble, and he based all his otherworldly power on that for the simple thrill of it. Luna struggled to think of what to do, wishing to help her friends while also keeping her heart.
Slowly her hand reached out towards the dice on the table, stopping an inch over them and holding in place. She glanced to the dice then to the boy across from her, the one who would either help her save her friends or steal away her heart and love for all time, the one who was the son of the dark king that had imprisoned and used her like a breeder for more chronoflies, the one who saved her from her torment and removed what was being grown inside of her against her will.
The one known as Hex Lagon.
