Taco Bell, Cutler Bay
Serah goes to the fast food joint in uniform.
"Hey there. Glad to see you're still alive." Her male coworker says.
"Yeah. It took a full week but I'm still kicking." She says while putting on the hat. "Now I have a massive debt and headache."
"Well the important part is that you're here. Reb called out sick, so it's going to be a long shift." He hands her the headset.
"Hi! Welcome to Taco Bell! Can I take your order?" She cheerfully says.
"Uuuuh. I want uh...a numbah five large and a numbah eight with extra taco." The customer says. They sound familiar to her, but brushes it off.
"That'll be seventeen nineteen. We'll see you at the window." The car approaches them. The vehicle is full of smoke. They put their windows down and she gasps in horror. It's Rosa and Franchesca smoking a blunt together. "You!"
"Heeeeeyyyyyy. It's the pretty angel lady." Rosa says with a stupid grin.
"He-hey! Whazuuuuup?" Fray deuces.
"It's there a problem?" The male coworker asks.
"I-it's nothing. Just two potheads." She faces them with a serious expression. "Are you both here to make me suffer?"
"Naaaah. We're here for the food, but it's also good to know you're working close to where we live! See? Right behind the 7-Eleven is our place." Rosa points at the gas station across the street. Behind it is a wall where one can see houses from the other side. "It's the blue house in the middle. You should stop by some time!"
"Rosey! I crave Americanized tacooooos!" Fray whines. Serah grabs the food and hands it to Rosa.
"Thanks! Catch ya on the flip side!" He accelerates out of the drive-thru, leaving smoke in the air. Serah coughs uncontrollably.
"I see. You were a fool to inform me of your home. For I will make you pay dearly for your heinous crimes! After my shift, that is."
The next day
In the peaceful ghetto they reside, Rosa and Franchesca are sleeping soundly in their home. They are suddenly woken up by the constant ringing of the doorbell. They groggily get out of bed in their underwear to see who is up this early in the morning. As soon as the door opens, they are bombarded with flashes of cameras and reporters asking them questions.
"It's them! The Las Costas!" One of them yells.
"What's all this?" Fray asks as she yawns.
"You are both the descendants of the first Mamono Lord and Great Hero! Not to mention also sharing lineage to the Lescastie!" A reporter hands them a paper of their lineage. Sure enough, they're the current known descendants.
"Oh. Cool." The siblings both reply.
In the distance, Serah is in her car watching the scene. "Hehehe. Now the whole world knows of your existence! Victory is mine!" She laughs.
"Are you both going to reclaim your birthright?" One of the reporters asks.
"The what now?" Rosa is confused.
"Your castle that resides in the Mamono World. Someone else has reclaimed it, as there was no heir to inherit the wealth and property." A reporter says.
"Nah." They both nonchalantly respond. This shocks everybody.
"We're doing fine without it. Give it to someone else." Fray says.
"Plus, castles are soooo medieval. A house is better." Rosa adds.
"But what about the fortune left for you? What are you going to do with that?"
"Give it to charity." Fray immediately answers.
"I'd get it to build my own PC gaming setup, honestly. Then send the rest to charity." Rosa says.
"All in all, we're not interested. Now get out. Or I'll send the dogs to fetch your balls." She opens the door, revealing a Boxer, Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher growling at the reporters. They all run away and drive off.
"Who's our wholesome boys and girl? You all are!" They both snuggle together with their dogs.
Serah is fuming. She bangs her head against the horn. "Why!? Why are they like this!?" She leaves the car, stomping towards them.
"Good morning, pretty angel lady! Didn't expect you to visit early." He grins and waves at her.
"What was that!? You both just found out about your ancestry and you're acting all nonchalant about it!"
"I don't see what the big deal is. Like we have royal blood. Cool. Is that going to pay my bills? I don't think so." Fray says.
"Also, feudalism is unbased. Socialism is the true next step in our current society!" Rosa plays with the dogs.
"That's not the point! Did you not notice how there was only one child in each generation, until you two showed up?"
"Didn't notice. Don't care." Fray hand waves at her.
"Does that mean we have cousins we haven't met? I wish we could meet them!" Rosa jumps from the excitement.
"I can't believe you guys are this oblivious to the issue at hand." Serah double facepalms. "Your 'Guardians' are literally your ancestors!"
"Is that true, Imanbek?" Rosa's Guardian materializes from behind. She nods. "OH MY GOODNESS! You're my great, great, great, great, great, greatest grandma!" He hugs her dearly. She returns the embrace.
"So ZHU is the Great Hero? I knew there was something cool about you." Fray fistbumps her Guardian.
"This calls for a family dance!" Rosa somehow pulls out his phone from his boxer and plays the music. ZHU and Fray electro boogie, while Imanbek and Rosa break dance. The dogs join their dance.
Serah's jaw drops from the events before her. "This is unbelievable. I can't believe this is happening." At that moment, a ray of light illuminates like a spotlight in the middle of the street and two angels descend from the Heavens.
They both have pale skin and silver eyes. One of them has white hair and wears typical military gear but it's white. The other one has red hair and has a military uniform which makes her look like a commanding officer.
"Target sighted. Permission to fire." The white hair one materializes an angelic assault rifle. The red haired angel raises her hand.
"At ease, Cadet. There are civilians in these parts."
"Yes, ma'am." She puts her weapon away.
"Dear God!" Serah kneels before them. The angels approach the siblings.
"Good morning, Las Costas. I am Lieutenant Gabreila. This is my second hand Cadet, Naomi." The white hair lady bows.
"Woah! More pretty angels!" Rosa grins and waves.
"What business do you want with us?" Fray says sternly.
"Heh. To the point. I like that." Gabriela pulls out a file. "We are here to make sure the deal between your ancestors and our Chief God to be...fixed, for lack of better earthly words. Which states only one successor to be born from your lineage." She puts away the file. "I believe you now see the problem."
"Nope. I don't know, nor care what deals you guys proposed when there was no indoor plumbing." Fray glares.
"Yeah man. Totally doesn't apply to us. How about we go inside and talk about it over breakfast?" Rosa suggests.
"I do not think there will be any convincing out of this. You both clearly lack the understanding of the severity of the situation you're both involved in." Gabriela glares back at Fray.
"That's what I've been trying to tell them!" Serah says, but they ignore her.
"That is true. But I also don't want any of us dead and I know for a fact that you will not leave without a fight." Fray takes off her glasses.
They go to the middle of the cul de sac. The siblings transform into their battle form. Gabriela does the cross motion and summons a holy rapier. Fray dashes and swings at her. Gabriela stops the attack with the tip of the blade, which surprises Fray. Rosa is about to strike her, but Naomi gets in the way and blocks his punch with her left elbow. She retaliates with a straight punch to his chest, causing him to gasp for air. She sweeps his legs, dropping him to the ground. She's about to stomp his face, but he rolls away in time and stands, both of them returning to their battle stance.
Fray is continuously swinging while Gabriela is blocking. She does an upward swing, but Gabriela deflects it and pierces Fray's shoulder. Unfazed, Fray steps forward and headbutts Gabriela's nose, causing her to stumble backwards and dislodge the weapon.
Naomi and Rosa are trading and blocking each other's blows. She right hooks his face. He counters with a left jab, but she sidesteps, knees his gut, then finishes with a german suplex. He groans in pain. Naomi takes a good look at him. Because of the way he's dressed and how weak he is performing, it is turning her on.
He senses her lust. His blood runs ablaze. "How dare you…HOW DARE YOU GET HORNY TO THIS!!" He shouts. She is taken aback by his sudden outburst. She blinks and a fist connects to her face. She recovers, but another punch strikes her chest. He is attacking too fast and wildly for her to keep up. He Superman punch her jaw, knocking her to the ground. Not being done, he kicks her ribs like a soccer ball and sends her flying a good distance. "Get turned on by that, BITCH!"
Gabriela, witnessing their unbridled strength, uses her holy magic. A halo surrounds the sibling around their waist and tightens, restraining them in place. They try to pry free, but to avail. "I was hoping one of you would die, but it seems I was mistaken."
"If you're going to kill one of us, kill me. I've traumatized people when I was a kid." Fray says while frowning.
"Nonono! Kill me! I actually have a criminal record! I was driving without a license while carrying weed!" Rosa says.
"Silence!" Gabriela stomps the ground. "It's clear to me both are too dangerous to live. I will put an end to the bloodline." Her rapier envelopes in holy energy.
Fray looks at Rosa. "Guess this is it."
"Ah man. I hope Pablo takes care of them when we're gone." They both see their dogs whimpering. They shed tears for them.
Gabriela is about to pierce their hearts in one blow, when a tomato strikes the back of her head. "Huh?" She turns to see the entire residents from the neighborhood gathered behind her.
"Watchu doin' to those poor kids!? They gave my family food when I was sick!"
"¡Deja a ellos tranquilos! They took care of my gato during my vacation!"
"They fixed my car when it broke down! I die for these niggas!"
"I still haven't confessed my love to Fray!" They shout as they throw their rotten veggies.
She is caught off guard and is pathetically trying to block. "Eew! GEEEEERMS!!" She screeches as takes out hand sanitizer to bathe in it. She faces the siblings with a furious expression. "Count your blessings well, Lescatie. We will finish this later." She goes to Naomi. A raw chicken hits her face. She releases an unholy screech before both of them teleport back to Heaven.
The restraints are removed and the siblings transform back to normal. The crowd celebrates and return back to their homes Rosa runs towards Fray, who is still bleeding from the wound. "This looks bad. We have to go to the hospital."
"Tch. But we don't have insurance for that." Fray says, trying to act tough.
"If I have to give up weed to pay it off, so be it." Rosa is guiding his sister to walk back home.
Serah, who has been standing on the sidelines, is astonished by the situation. She has read from the bible how evil the Mamonos are and will take any opportunity to rule the world. And yet, despite being revealed to have a fortune under their name, they reject it and would rather live a life as any human would. Guilt consumes her. "Hey wait!" She runs up to them. "Let me look at it." She uses her holy magic to heal the wound. There's a scar on her shoulder. "I'm not strong enough to fully heal it, but you at least won't bleed out." She quickly tries to leave, but Fray grabs her coat.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"L-Look! I tried my best, okay!?" Serah is shivering, expecting a beatdown.
Fray raises an eyebrow. "I was going to thank you before you left. It even looks kind of cool on me." She examines the scar.
"Plus, you can't go without trying my bombass sunnyside up with buttered toast!" Rosa says. A warm feeling fills Serah's chest. She blushes not knowing how to react. He gets behind and pushes her. "Come on! I can even share my joint with ya. And why are you wearing a jacket during summer?" He keeps yapping as they go inside for a delicious breakfast.
