POV Narrator:
The invasion to Daryl's hideout started, things are getting quite tense, since Diana, Akko and Hellene were quite insistent in going along, much to also go in an attempt to capture Daryl once and for all, since she is all hidden, in a part of the laboratory that nobody has any idea, there went the group towards the floors of that abandoned factory, which was even quite hidden, from where Brooke had just escaped. With some traps that are waiting for the group of women to be attacked.
POV Akko:
Mrs McLaren is keeping a very close eye on us, she won't let us escape for a second, it even seems that she has her eyes on our backs, this is all because I wanted to take a different route, well let's follow the path then, we were walking in the corridor, we arrived at a room where apparently is the control room, the agents were immediately pointing their guns and there was nothing.
"Stop right there Daryl Cavendish!" Officer Morris said.
"It seems she's already escaped from here, this is the room where she was most controlling everything, I even broke the monitors so she couldn't find me while I was escaping" Brooke said.
"We will collect it as evidence," Officer Morris said, picking up a few things and collecting them.
We were also helping to get it, using some gloves to not leave fingerprints on anything, it was a good moment to get evidences, there were even pen drives and many of them, it must be with all the saved recording of what happened.
After what happened we went to where Brooke was hiding, when we opened the door we saw that it was full of blood everywhere and many sharp things, I was in shock after seeing this scene, it's really scary, it seems that someone died here.
"This here I did it myself, the traps hit Daryl hard, she must be pretty weakened at this level" Brooke said.
"It was a pretty clever attempt tae try and counter attack, if she really is around this will be good, she's lost blood and that might have made her a bit weaker" Officer Morris said.
I am pulled by Hellene and Diana in the middle of a corridor, the two turn into pussies, getting into my clothes where they were hiding, in this I noticed that Mrs. McLaren was hiding, we were walking kind of separated from the route, I see a pipe, which I make sure to let the two of them go through this way.
"Thank ye Akko, try tae distract Mama Laura" Diana said and I nodded in agreement.
I quickly turn around and see her with her arms crossed, it looks like I'm going to get in legal trouble, to the point Mrs McLaren magically holds me back where they all were, kinda still analysing things, I look up to the ducts and see Diana and Hellene winking at me.
Turning around she just puts her hand on her head, I gave her time to manage to get two stuffed animals into her clothes and pretend to be the Cavendish sisters.
"Akko I know you 'id dem under your clothes, you can take dem off, I 'ave to 'ave a serious talk with dese two" said the mother of the two and I took the stuffed animals off my clothes, showing them to her
"You see there's nothing "I say shrugging, until I start to be enveloped by magic and she notices that I have nothing.
"Where did dey run away to Akko? Tell me where you took dem, dis is a serious matter, I don't want to lose my daughters" She said in a very scary tone, I'm even scared with her face like that.
"I don't know Mrs McLaren, they just wanted a hand to escape and I helped them by leaving in the ventilation ducts" I say the same.
"Why are you doing dis Akko? Dey could be in danger, we 'aven't even explored dis properly, now you come with me, we will go after dese two and bring them back" she said staring at me quite angrily.
We walked to the duct, where we transformed ourselves into rats, in this case Mrs. McLaren into a guinea pig, I even found her transformation too cute, all orange and fluffy, anyway let's go, to get where they are, I'm noticing that I think I ended up doing a big mistake, I might be letting them in danger, but I want to do justice too, Daryl might try to escape anyway.
"I know your concern Akko, you just don't want to waste time because anything Daryl can run away, but we 'ave to be meticulous and delicate with dis, if she takes my girls it's de end of de line" Mrs McLaren said.
"I wanted to help, if we split up maybe we would find each other faster" I tell her.
"I understand your motive, but don't do dat in a situation like dis, my biggest fear is losing my two daughters, it was so much love and effort to find dem and leave dem together" Laura said, I understand her, I also felt a bit bad.
We are walking through the ducts and they are a big labyrinth, we are not getting anywhere and even with Diana and Hellene's mother using her ears to listen to everything, she couldn't hear their steps, did they go out somewhere? I don't know but seeing Laura's face like this scares me, she is worried and I made the biggest mistake.
POV Diana:
We managed tae lose Mother Laura, we fell in another part of this factory, in the middle of the pipelines, now we just have tae go together and find the damn thing, we walk tae an empty corridor, here it's darker than usual, I look at Hellene and she looks at me, we kept looking at the rooms next tae us and they were all pretty normal until then.
"Nae sign of Daryl, she must be hiding very well" I tell Sis.
"I don't know sis, shouldn't we be doing dis next to mommy? We just ran away," she said and I shrugged.
"Do ye have any idea how long it would take? The WCI agents would investigate very slowly, they would still take evidence by evidence, before thinking of capturing our aunt, that is why I decided tae do this, it is the best plan for this situation" I answer my little sister.
"Dere's no turning back now, but if things get tense we'll call for help, I don't want to be alone against Daryl, even though we've trained a lot" said my sister.
"Don't worry sis, we'll manage tae find her and make a surprise attack" I say while searching the rooms, when I look at one I see that it was all pixelated, with some letters calling me.
I call for my sis, she enters and we see the place, it seems that it was a factory room, but the taggings were written calling me tae the place, even there were arrows, what I am already a little afraid, sure that it is a trap, even the staff is shining with that.
"Phaidoari Afairyngor!" I say, turning the staff into an axe.
"I will also prepare myself 'ere" Said my sis who was activating the prosthetic and also in her other hand grew a gauntlet, I always suspected this bracelet of hers, now I know it was just a gauntlet, sae let's go together.
We go down the stairs in the middle of the place which is obviously a trap, she really can't wait fae that, there are two of us, that really can't happen that we get caught, until by stepping wrongly on a block we end up making a wall fall, but luckily we throw ourselves forward and get stuck inside.
"Great, we're nae going tae make it out of here" I say looking at the wall until a screen appears and on it was Daryl's face staring at us.
[Daryl: How cute, it seems that the sisters are together, they couldn't hold on separately, now they will die together too, what a shame, they should have stayed put instead of you, but now it's time for the games, if you want to get to me I can start playing, you can cancel the game whenever you want just sign this contract, otherwise not so much, and now start the first game, if you want to get through the door you will have to fill this bowl with the blood of one of you, let the games begin]
"Is she really goin to play like Saw movies? Right 'ere with us" said my sister.
"Sis ye won't cut yourself sae we can pass the... How disgusting Hellene!" She simply pulled down her panties and hiked up the skirt of her dress starting tae urinate in the basin.
"No one said I couldn't fill dis with other liquid" she said as she started tae do this and it worked, the door opened. Absolutely gross.
"I can't believe this worked out" I say putting my hand tae my face.
Hellene then pulls up her panties and walks away as if nothing had happened, we walk along the front, after passing through the first challenge, I still stare at her in disbelief, but she even gives me her hand sae I can touch her and I show her the middle finger.
"Gross Hellene, take yer hand away from me" I say turning my face away.
"You can say it was genius, Daryl could still get lucky blood if she turns up next week hahahaha" I'd rather not know about these things.
We kept walking in the corridor until we stepped on a block and in it a wall started tae move by the sides, it had spears on each side, I dinnae believe it, I started tae run, just like my sister, we kept trying tae advance in every way and the contract leaves were raining in front of me, Daryl wanted tae convince me in every way, but I won't give in, until I felt the biggest kick in my back.
"Go on sis, I'll get to you" It was a punch that my sister punched me in the back, sae that I got tae the other side and the walls were closing in on her.
"Hellene!" I say worriedly.
[Daryl: Only one of you will cross over to the other side and that one's blood will be used for sacrifice, don't try to get around it by urinating, that's not a fair challenge, stop it! Now your sister will be crushed by all this]
I'm nae going tae let her, I'm going tae run with the staff in hand, saying the third word, turning it into a hook and then taking my sis pushing her, which allowed her tae pass safely, sae much sae that I arrive half breathless, I will nae allow my sister tae stay in this, she will nae die sae easily.
"Suck on that then Daryl" Said my sister with her middle fingers on the screen.
Then my sis starts tae charge the magic, ye could see her hair going up even a little bit, she gets her hands kind of glowing green, then she arrives with everything on the door in front and gives the biggest punch knocking down the door, which was falling in the middle of a cliff, we jumped already thinking about using the magic, but we saw as an opportunity for something else, we climbed on the piece of door, which fell, as if it was a board.
"Excellent idea sis" I tell her.
"I want to see now if Daryl is goin to stop us" She said and I was soon noticing that some things started tae be fired, I went using my wand tae create a shield of magic.
"Tranquilizer darts, she really wants tae make us unconscious just tae scare us" I say as I go down the slide reaching the end where we were nae caught by any of these darts.
We went walking tae the other part, a creepy corridor, she left a very deadly game vibe here, I'm even impressed, this time we ended up trapped between two cages, what the hell, what is this? We were taken tae a dark place with only two lights over us until Daryl appeared with the screen in front of us.
[Daryl: Are you ready for this Quiz? We will start questions, there will be five points for each one, for each point lost you will suffer some different torture and who takes too long will enter the pool of sulfuric acid]
"What kind of idiotic game is this?" I ask her.
[Daryl: I don't know but you now have five minutes to think about whether or not to participate, remember Diana, the contract is here in front of you, one signature and you save your sister's life and yours too]
Meanwhile in the pipelines, no sign of Diana and neither Hellene being searched for, what Akko andLaura get out of there kind of ending up in a very strange underground room, a bit even close towhere the two prisoners were...
POV Akko:
This is very strange, this is a place where we haven't been yet, I'm seeing here and it looks like a torture room with a chair and a mask, it reminds me a lot of Deadly Games, I'm sure Daryl wanted to do something like that with Diana.
"She has avoidantly come to torture de kids, we 'ave to be quick, let's go dat way" Mrs McLaren said.
"Are you sure they are not somewhere else? What if they didn't even get here?" I ask Diana's mother.
She just follows the path and I follow her, who knows this way I will find an exit and the girls if the situation stays like this, we have to find them soon, now I realized my stupidity, well let's go, then, Mrs. McLaren uses her magic and we open the door and follow in a slide, where she created a platform, in this came several hooks and these were being kind of controlled by me not catching us.
"Excellent! Danks for de help Akko, you learned a few things from me by the looks of it" she said all smiles at me.
We stopped in the middle of an open arena, some robots were appearing, reminding a lot the ones from Fafnir, they were those same dragons, even worse that a huge snake came, what I was already getting scared, but Mrs. McLaren was in a huge calmness.
"I'll take care of de giant snake, you take care of de robots" she said.
Back where Diana and Hellene were caged...
POV Diana:
I'm very tense, trying tae find a way tae escape, but nothing was available fae that, everywhere I couldn't find a place and the worst is that this damn contract is in my face, she wants by all means tae sign this damn contract passing the family possessions tae her, I'll never let this happen, until something else appeared on the screen, the mother and Akko.
[Daryl: Looks like someone else wanted to stick their nose where it didn't belong, better be quick these two people's lives depend on you, I'm not waiting here, you have five minutes and I'm sure Laura won't hold her own against Ouroboros]
I look away and simply my sis only opened the Cage then came close tae mine doing the same as much as the furious Daryl lowers both of us towards the pool of acid, but we fall tae the side, narrowly missing each other.
"Damn you! Dis won't affect us, we are strong together, you did it thinking of Diana" Hellene said.
[Daryl: I was actually going to use the boy, but he escaped before I could try anything, now enjoy yourselves and regret your choices, Atsuko and Laura will die for your guilt]
We sent the middle finger tae the monitor together and went on our way, we passed tae another room, this one being empty, only having one chair, and this time it came starting from nothing tae come several dragon robots in our direction, I was already prepared fae that, I prepared the second word of the staff and now let's see.
"Dis is goin to be awesome" said Sis.
"I dinnae want tae get tae that, but come on"
I started tae go up the several robots cutting them with the axe with the staff, this here is very good even more with help of the glyphs that gave me support and impulse, I started tae learn to use them with the help of mother Laura, now I can support myself on the walls and go up with everything without fear, already Hellene seems tae be having more fun, she was punching one by one, with all the way, even looking like she was in a dance, soon we were one of back tae the other.
"This here is kind of cool tae do, I like this challenge" I tell her.
"Tell me about it, I love doing dis, it's like being in an anime" Hellene said.
"Don't exaggerate, our lives are at stake here" I say tae her as I start tae go up one by one, kind of dodging and trying tae go against the machines.
The robots were many, but we are also strong, the staff is quite handy, sae much sae that I alternate between words, just tae make it easier, hitting with the bow, or the axe, even the hammer, the hook being
useful tae grab the creatures and Hellene being very good at going at my pace, I really dinnae expect something like this.
"There are too many, she really wants us tae waste too much time" I tell my sis.
In the other fight...
POV Akko:
It was already being a few dragons, I am panting and tired, smelling like burning, these things spit fire on top of that, the worst is having to deal with all this, now only the giant snake is missing and worse the lady McLaren does a great job dodging it.
"'EyAkko, go after de girls, I'll take care of dat snake" she said.
"But aren't you really in any danger like that? - I ask her.
"My girls are in greater danger, a snake like that I can tame - she said.
I get worried about the McLaren lady, but I'll be rooting for her, I decide to get out there and go the way I had, now alone, I'm really going to have to turn around, I see the corridor and soon more of those dragons are coming.
"Murowa! - I say as I cast the spells...
They are easy things to deal with, they explode with a mean spell like this, lucky that I have magic to spare to deal with these dragons, I imagine that with the two of them it must have been easier, Hellene is immensely strong, not to mention that Diana is intelligent, together they are invincible.
I get to another room, this time there's no more dragons, there's just a bowl, kinda empty, I look around and see a knife, I wonder what it is, I don't know, but I'm worried, until one of the monitors shows something, it was exactly Daryl.
[Daryl: One more come for sacrifice, well if you want to pass you'll have to fill this with your blood, you won't have enough there, don't even try... Why do you guys do that?]
Much more intelligent to use the head, well the question of the blood I'm still not in the days, but who knows if I showed up last week, then it would really fill up and a lot, I'm releasing all the liquid, I think I drank too much water, but it was not enough to fill up, I even send the middle finger.
"How about that Daryl?" I tell her laughing.
[Daryl: It's still not enough, even then you wouldn't cross over to the other side, you need a lot of blood, the one that is equivalent to the sacrifice of a human life, but you couldn't do that hahahahaha! Get stuck here]
I wait for Laura, she can help me fill it or not, but soon we'll get to the girls, I'm sure she'll make it, then we'll be safe, so much so that the monitors go off, she's trying to get me to cut myself, hence the knife, but I'm not going to do that unless it's a big risk.
POV Laura:
I 'ave to defeat dis ding soon, for my girls, dis will be my last attempt, I transform my arm into a blade together the two and with my legs I give an impulse, to de point of passing through all the snake, arriving to de other side and with that it ended up falling on the ground all destroyed and it was disappearing how wonderful.
"Are you satisfied with dat, Daryl? Your little monster is defeated" I feel a sting. I take out what was on my digh and it was a tranquilizer dart, damn it.
I am already getting a little dizzy, a little bewildered, without knowing where to go, I lose all control, I walk forward to de corridor, but I am getting sleepy, I fall on de floor... I don't know what happened, but she sabotaged me fuck, I'm feeling a little dizzy, but I'm resisting de effect with my magic, I try to block, I even 'ear footsteps.
"Diana! Hellene! Beat dat damn bitch" I say dat as my last words until I'm hit by another dart and dis time it's caught in de back.
Elsewhere, Diana and Hellene panting and tired were half finishing defeating those robots...
POV Diana:
I'm tired already, I was kind of getting panting, I spent too much energy, but at least the robots were all defeated, which we follow the path, I dinnae know why there is a chair around here, too strange, sae much sae that the chair is kind of taken in a hole, we go kind of looking and the trapdoor closes, quite strange this.
"Let's go Diana!" said my sister.
"Could this be a path too?" I ask my sister.
"My gauntlet is a bit weak right now, let's go another way just to give it time to charge," said my sister.
And we actually go down her path, having even a bit of a slide, which we go standing and jump where it was the place that hits it, landing quietly in a place that looked like an arena, full of machines that were destroyed, someone also passed by here, this is very suspicious... Well anyway I think we will have tae find who is in front.
Through the corridor we followed we saw that it was Akko waiting fae us, how strange, she also looks at us with an equal face of strangeness.
"What are you girls doing here? I thought you were in front? And where did miss McLaren go? - My girlfriend said.
"I haven't seen her around, has she disappeared?" I ask my beloved.
"She was fighting a huge snake, but then it disappeared, I wasn't getting through here, I was even waiting for her to make the best decision" Said the cute Japanese woman.
"Okay I guess I'll have tae do that too, I dinnae want tae believe that ouroboros ate our mother or that she was captured, I'll clear the way by doing that" I get close tae the basin.
I start to lower my panties, I'm even in a better position filling it with urine, but how disgusting I swear I dinnae expect this, but now let's see if it's going tae be enough, the bowl still hasn't lowered, sae much urine fae nothing, until I see Akko simply cutting her wrists, tae fill some more.
"Akko!" I say worriedly.
"You go, I risk losing blood, now it's up to you two, the stronger ones, I am weak, I believe you will manage" She said while the blood was being spilled and I even cried, holding the staff that was glowing, I was the one who was going tae do this.
"Akko, why? We could use another way, find my mother, maybe she could pee on the spot, now I feel bad fae having separated from her, I was an idiot, a selfish person, I should listen more tae mother Laura"
The blood was filling up and being enough, I can't wait tae give the change tae this cursed woman, she got my mother and myAkko is weakened because of her, now the gates opened, I use a healing spell on her and close the bleeding in the wrist, seeing that she was very weak, tae the point that she is walking a little weak in my direction.
"I love you Diana, go out there and break this damn thing's face" She said and I nodded.
"Come with us Akko, I want ye tae be safe, since we are going tae find a way out of this" I say holding her hand.
The staff doesn't stop shining, the fifth word is coming, I hope I can unlock it soon, it seems that I could understand its meaning a long time ago, I walk in the corridor, this one being wider and out of nowhere the factory and scary basement vibe changes to a talk show vibe, as if I was on television I saw an audience all made of cardboard with everyone's face and I see a huge monitor, where Daryl appears and claps his hands.
[Daryl: Alright, alright, looks like they passed, not the way I planned, torturing them for hours and even days, with these deadly games, but just the same I think it's going to be cool to play a little game here, do you want to know where Laura McLaren is? Well you don't have much time, play the vignette]
Out of nowhere a typical music from those shows started tae play where the curtains open and in them they show what was a pool of molten iron, only that on top I see my mother hanging from chains, it must be too hot fae her there, how horrible, how could she do that? I get all shocked, just like my sis, we accumulate a lot of anger.
"What you did to my mother!" We said together.
"We have to get her out of here" Akko said.
[Daryl: It's going to be very simple, you just have to entertain the audience with a very interesting presentation to them, if they don't like it the chains go down further and further, until Laura McLaren falls into the molten iron bath, you're not going to give up a show because of your mother are you? You can still save from all this, look what we've got here]
She as always sent me the contract, but I denied it, until afterwards several musical instruments appear and they are going tae be the object that is going tae excite the public, or is it something else, there also appear some swords, shields, spears, as if we were in a gladiator battle.
"What do ye want us tae do?" I ask Daryl.
[Daryl: Well you're on three, the audience wants music, they want blood rolling, go! Use your creativity!]
Akko takes one of the drums and starts tae play, I notice that Mama Laura was already starting tae come down which raised all the tension, causing me tae have tae take a sword in hand, Hellene agreed with her head and was doing the same.
"Let's make it look like a real fight" She said and I nodded.
I went up tae my sister, she defended with the blade and we were doing this exchange of swords against each other in a very intense way, I kept trying tae hit her, she kept hitting the blades following the script, until she started tae give it back, in this way things were holding up well, we were just trying tae give cuts, since a blow could be fatal, and soon a manticore appeared in the middle.
[Daryl: If you want to fight in a lie at least fight for real, I want to see is entertainment, the public wants to see the same thing, an audience that is loving to see all this, go! Show how you are capable, go on top of the creature, show the courage of gladiators, more music!]
Mum continued tae descend and I super tense was starting tae go up tae the creature, she may have this scorpion tail, but I defended with a shield and my sis took the opportunity tae use this shield as a platform tae jump and go with the blade up tae the creature, I was seeing that the tail was going towards her, but I'm prepared, I catch a spear at the side and play in the tail that ends up getting all wounded, falling some drops of poison on the ground and finally my sister hit a stab, but quickly throws herself tae nae be hit by the tail, what I play a shield that she catches on the spot avoiding tae be hit, now we have tae give a way in this creature, even with a hit like that she dinnae die.
"She's strong" I say half breathlessly.
"Just take de hint sis, let's together finish 'er off and save mommy, at least now she is going down slower, I dedn't expect something like dis, the number of de audience is even going up, thanks for de help Akko - Said my sister.
[Daryl: The audience can't enjoy something like that, stop enjoying it, now you're going to suffer the consequence of it with a swim in a pool of boiled iron! Say goodbye to Laura McLaren!]
POV Narrator:
The invasion to Daryl's hideout was going on, but things don't seem to be that friendly, even more so because it was a very intense battle to get to the challenges that are looking like they came out of a death games movie, where Daryl came to get Diana's psychology so that she will give in to the leadership of the family, but the Cavendish will not give up, even more so because she gets the help of all around.
See you, games witches...
