The battle against Margaret is at a more intense and tighter point, this time simply no gun shots were enough to stop the witch who was managing to defend herself well against the shots, which all around were well motivated in their intention to take revenge for what happened to poor Chariot Du Nord (1990-2018) who was having her death confirmed. This time at least the battle is getting a better breather with Diana using the MGE to counter the magical power of the powerful witch.
In the middle of all this confusion the mysterious Margareth was walking in the middle of the bush, going in the intention of catching Diana by surprise and attacking straight in the weak point, she was kind of observing from far away the Cavendish herself was also observing everything around too, taking the necessary care so that the worst wouldn't come.
" Don't come in! Margareth must be hiding among the trees, she will make a sneak attack " Said the Scot until she saw the German holding a sign.
"Diana presses one of the buttons on her glove and lowers her glasses you can use heat vision and find her"
Which soon the platinum haired one already gets a smile on her face, starting to spot Ford herself who was hiding in the middle of the woods watching everything from afar, being the gap the blue"eyed one needed, starting from there aiming an arrow, carrying her magic and then shooting it.
" Shit! Those arrows are guided " Said the Englishwoman who leapt up with momentum using magic.
It was the tactic Diana needed, she propelled herself forward throwing her body with magic, almost hitting the witch, but that was the moment where Ford delivered a hammer blow with full force catching Diana to the point and throwing her against the ground, but luckily all the equipment held, just as the witch herself ended up feeling the impact of the beating and was thrown backwards.
" Shit! I've got to get this thing off her " Said the frustrated Margaret who goes running into Diana flying towards herself again.
Ford is trying at all costs to dodge the fight, while Cavendish is hitting her as fast as she can, but none of the blows are getting through the witch's dodging speed, which caused the Scottish witch to cast a spell that caught the Englishwoman, who held back, but it caused an explosion that stunned her and then she was hit with a punch.
" Take that you wretch, that's for all you put Diana through! " Said the platinum haired one.
Then she goes flying towards the witch, hits another blow, this time a grab, where she grabs the back of the witch's head and drags her along the ground, then throws her up with a very powerful kick launching her into the air.
" That was for everything me, Akko and Amanda went through in their captivity! " Said the furious Cavendish.
" Go Diana! " They all say as the Scottish woman takes her staff and transforms it into a bow and arrow, aiming it all in the direction of the witch who was thrown into the air.
" And that's for Chariot! " Diana said, shooting the arrow.
At this time Margareth herself had nowhere to dodge, she was hit full on by the arrow, where she then fell to the ground in the midst of all those who were surrounding her, already very wounded, with an arrow going through her body, even so she got up, in the midst of everyone, and started to remove the arrow, with her body bleeding, Diana was looking from above, pointing another arrow.
" What are you looking at? You're just delaying the worst, shoot me, don't you want me to die? " said Ford as he was halfway down the arrow.
" I want you to suffer for all that you have caused this is the arrow that will punish your fate " Cavendish said as the arrow kind of started to give a shock effect around Ford's body, in compensation it came out of her body.
" Ahhhhhhhh, you damned, you will pay dearly for all this, I will still strike back " Said the witch, as they all looked on.
It was a good few minutes of Margaret lying there in fetal position, everyone was still watching her, until the shocks stopped by her body, she herself starts to get up, still laughing, even with a lot of steam coming out of her body due to the shock, full of injuries, quite hurt, everyone was still afraid.
" That's it? That's it? I killed a lot more to get only this, where am I going to go after this? Will they finally kill me? And will I never pay for what I did, or will they just let me go and I'm forgiven by the power of friendship? " Ford said laughing.
" I will not fall for your tricks Margaret, now it is definite I will... " Said Diana who was aiming her staff towards the witch, but ended up sort of falling when the MGE switched off.
" The load is finished! " They all said.
" Hmmmm, so it's over for you too " Said the witch with a huge sadistic smile on her face.
" What? What do you mean, what? Constanze, you didn't tell me it's loaded... And now what? What do we do now? " Said Diana taking out her MGE starting to sort of go into a desperation mode.
" What? You weren't the ones full of confidence until now, didn't you think you were going to defeat me right away? Now let's see if you're all that " said Ford, who began to squirm a little more in a way that made it seem as if her body was shifting, where the sounds of snapping bones became very apparent.
All of them were shooting at the time, trying a way to attack, but that was nothing for the English witch who was carrying herself, giving punches and kicks in each one, little by little they were knocking themselves down and who was watching everything from the front was Diana, even seeing her own mother Bernadette falling, what soon came to her own getting in front of Cavendish grabbing her first.
" Now you will see your hand one last time, but first of all I want her to see that her own daughter is going to die, that you will be the last Diana of this era," Ford said, pulling a dagger from her pocket.
" Sorry about everything people, I couldn't kill Margaret when I had the chance " Said the Scottish woman conforming herself and already starting to shed some tears, while Bernadette was waking up.
" No! Not my daughter! " Said the desperate older Cavendish.
In a matter of time the stab is given right behind the platinum haired girl, which creates a whole tension, only in a matter of time the hit was not Cavendish, the hit was Margaret with a stab given in the back by Croix's hands.
" That'll be for Chariot! You bastard! " Meridies said starting to stab Benson.
Margaret still tried to fight back, pushing with a magical force field while Croix was panting holding the blade full of blood, the witch was regenerating from those blows, healing with magic, but the Italian didn't give up and was still going up what Ford with her hand on her back was dodging the blade to the point of even managing to disarm it with a single kick that ended up making the purple haired girl release the blade on the spot.
" You are pathetic," said Margaret.
They were all getting a bit tense, still trying to get up, some fainting on the ground, so much so that Diana was still trying to launch some arrows, but they were all easily dodged, by the quickness of the witch that even though she was very weakened she still managed to guarantee good strength and agility, which all the others didn't have.
" Cons, get the other machine, let's beat her " Said the Scottish woman, but then noticed that the German was passed out on the floor.
" Ohhhh, you guys really want to try other methods? Too bad you guys aren't going to make it with your little friend out of that gown... " A sound of a loading shotgun was heard, followed later by a gunshot.
The witch looks down and notices that all that blood is coming from her, then she looks back noticing that it was none other than Olivia, holding a twelve, who was firing another shot this time towards the witch's face that even used magic to withstand the powerful shot, but even so the girl didn't stop shooting.
" Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! " Said Olivia who kept on shooting.
With each step she shot more and more, it was practically unloading the twelve into the Englishwoman who was already evidently wounded, having to focus her magic on holding the powerful shots from the gun, which Diana made sure to pick up another shotgun that was on the ground and fire along with it as well, while Bethany charged.
" Useless! Useless! Useless! " Said the brownish one still holding the force field.
Another one joined her and took a revolver, this time it was Bernadette, who was also firing and Margaret's own magical shield was already weakening with each shot given, which signaled that the witch's defeat was getting closer and closer as they kept shooting.
At one moment Margaret's defenses were failing and she was hit full in the face by another shot that made her fall on the ground sitting with her back on a tree trunk, her last hope was to regenerate.
" Finish her off Croix " Said the older Cavendish handing the revolver to Meridies.
The Italian took aim at the Englishwoman's head and unloaded the whole comb there, without any mercy, blood was flying everywhere until there was no more Margaret to tell stories, she simply stopped answering, due to the shots and then Laura came, who took a machine gun and unloaded it all on the witch's chest, which was getting even more open.
" That was for Chariot " Said the lilac haired one dropping the revolver.
" That was also for Chariot and to know if the demon really went to hell! " Said Laura after unloading the machine gun ammunition into the witch's chest.
Margaret Ford (1898"2018) met her end, multiple gunshots and already badly wounded after a hard and complicated battle, she could not resist the multiple wounds and the blood, while all the others were relieved that it finally came to an end, but still remained kind of crying.
" Finally, that motherfucker was grounded, you fucking witch " Said Laura who was still crying.
" We lost the most special person in our lives because of that wretch! " Croix said tearfully.
" Hell will be short for that one, you demon bastard," McLaren said.
" Chariot never did anything, we only fight against her to survive, not to be killed too, on top of that she paid everything for us " Said Meridies who was staring at that lifeless body.
" She was killed by the same person who killed her whole family," Olivia said.
" Was she a cultist? " Asks the shocked Irish woman.
" It wasn't, but who killed the whole Du Nord family, it wasn't a cultist, it was Margaret herself for genocidal reasons, she wanted to wipe out the whole family because of that unrequited love, because of Louise, that damned thing only did that for free to cause terror, now it's over with who she tried to kill all this time " Bethany said.
" It makes perfect sense now... I'm so sorry for everything that happened to you Olivia, I imagine you must have been just a bait for Margaret " Said the redhead half hugging the girl.
" Didn't I say she was reliable, didn't I say that Margaret still managed to bring Diana back to life? " Said the younger Cavendish.
" Don't call me Diana, I don't feel like being that person, I prefer to be called Olivia, I think that name suits me better, I don't even have her body, I'm a bunch of other people left in one, being that I barely had the freedom to be who I really am, it was 13 years of trauma, it was 13 years living this torture " Olivia said cringing, but then getting a hug from Diana.
" You can leave that I will call you Olivia from now on, consider yourself my younger younger sister " Said the medium haired one.
" And we can say that with this we can gain one more daughter of consideration " said Laura who came to hug the girl.
" I will get rid of the body of this cursed woman so that there is nothing left " Said Croix who went carrying Margareth's body.
After all the tension, the girls that are awake go helping to get the others out, still in the middle of that night that was too long with some shocking events, the body of Margaret Ford was taken to a container of hydrochloric acid so that it doesn't have any more remains, already Chariot with her remains was called a funeral home where it didn't have another chance, at that time Croix didn't let go of the dead body of his wife, as well as the police appeared to solve things, listening to the description of each one about the events.
Because it was a magic matter, things kind of went differently in the investigation and the case ended up giving a closure, since the girls were sincere, but took a warning about not to cause so much trouble.
From there the news alerts also came to Hellene and Marianne who were in the United States, where it was still a bit late in the afternoon.
[Diana: Sis I'm sorry, but Margaret has shown up again, we fought her, she even died, but we had a cost, a very high cost, that cost came with Chariot... She passed away sis, she was murdered by that damn thing]00:21
[Hellene: No, no, no, no, you've got to be joking sis, tell me that didn't really happen, I'm immediately going to Scotland] 00:21
[Diana: Please do your things there, in security come back here later] 00:22
[Hellene: Fuck my video, I'll tell you to pause it for now, I'd rather lose money and be there with you to see Chariot one last time than this shit! I'm going now!] 00:22
There was nothing to question, Hellene was determined all the way to the airport, she even cancelled filming for a while warning of the death of someone extremely dear, even indirectly reporting on the death of Chariot Du Nord, what could there be a remarkable funeral, Diana was simply out of control.
That night, none of the girls were able to nail their eyes shut, they were all thinking about the events that had occurred, the lives that were gone in the blink of an eye.
" I didn't even get to ride a skateboard playfully competing with Chariot, I didn't get to ask several questions, I didn't get to even enjoy it... My greatest inspiration was gone love " Akko said devastated.
" I know how it is... She was very important to us, now to see her gone is heartbreaking," Diana said.
" I can imagine how you must feel, I am so sorry for everything, it was my fault, I had to obey Margaret's orders, she threatened to do things to Charlotte, out with me too, I had to get them all into the trap or else the worst would happen, I didn't want Margaret to kill them one by one in a sneaky way, which could be worse," Olivia said crestfallen.
" You are not the problem Olivia and never have been, just like everyone else here, we are Margaret's victims and you are the strongest of them all, it was 13 years living in the hell that was being a slave, now you are free, you can be happy now," Diana said patting her new sister.
" I'm just curious about one thing now, did you come into the world like this? " Laura asks.
" No, I came like every other person, but a bit more advanced, from what I remember, Margaret told me that I had been incubated for 5 years being made, until I reached the stage of finally being "born", but I was still imperfect, I grunted, I was all bald, I looked like a monster, I was little by little gaining a more human appearance, as I gained a bit of Cavendish genetics, until I got the way I am now, they were the inventions of the crazy one that was more for an evil mother that still wanted things with me " Said the girl half shrunk.
" I remember how the first time she looked at us all scary, she was a disfigured creature indeed " Atsuko said.
" You don't call Olivia that " Cavendish said giving her a telling off.
" Alright, I know I was a hideous creature, but now I know I also have someone who will finally treat me like the human I always wanted to be, now I know who I am," Olivia said.
"Let's all stay together as a family for the night, for Chariot, if we can sleep "Said Bernadette.
" So far Croix hasn't let up in Charlotte's room, she must be thinking more things than us " McLaren said.
" And I am, but I want to stay with you because you are my family," Meridies said with the baby in her arms, which was immediately greeted with a hug.
" Ohhh, Croix, come with us too, you are part of it all here, you who built this alongside our much loved Chariot " Laura said.
In the middle of the night the girls were slowly trying to make the atmosphere lighter, they were sleeping together, all in a group in a huge bed, which was bringing more lightness, as Hellene was arriving in the UK after a long plane trip that practically begged to go back home, almost risking losing a contract, but that was understandable the way she expressed it.
In the end Margareth Benson Ford (1898-2018) Out defeated by the girls, who gave their all in every possible option to manage to stop the witch's evil deeds that only stopped with her death, but all this still had the cost of poor Chariot Du Nord (1990-2018) Who had her life taken by the witch, amidst a whole plan she had to get someone who in many years never wanted her.
See you, evil witch...
