Author's Notes:
Hello this is my first public fanfic, so thanks for dropping by. I made this story a while back and it's rough(probably considered bad) but I still wanted to post it, both to get it out there and I guess as a nod to two other neptunia creators(who have been inactive for years now), one Men-Dont-Scream on Deviantart, his drawing "Frostforged Twins" being an inspiration, and one Blade of Justice on FanFic also inspiring this story as well as the Men-Dont-Scream's art.
I'll also say I was inspired to make this after listening to Set it Off's song "Partners In Crime" (hence the similarities in story)
Anyway I've over stayed my welcome so I hope you enjoy this word vomit vaguely related to Neptunia.
People went about their day, exchanging money, setting up accounts, and other such similar banking activities. It's this environment that two small figures enter into the picture. A few people gave the seemingly children a quick glance before going back to whatever it was they were doing. Seeing children in a bank wasn't too weird but them unattended, that was strange but people had things to attend to. The two looked at each other and smiled before splitting up and running around. The one dressed in a light blue heavy winter coat quietly weaved her way through the crowds until she found herself as a large metal door, one which had guards standing either side of the door. The other, a girl with long light brown hair with a pink winter coat moved through the throng of people getting as many small details she could. After a couple of minutes of the twin girls seemingly running around bored they meet back up at the center of the common area. They looked at each other and a mischievous smile spread across their faces. Before another person could leave the building a number of blood red ice crystals covered the door, the same red ice quickly covered the windows and other doors giving the outside light leaking in a sinister red tint. It was then that the people in the bank started to panic, the employees and guards tried to calm the crowd but with little success. Only two small figures standing at the center of it all stood unaffected by the panic. As the people panicked they were too distracted when dark shadows started to swirl around the girls, too distracted when a transformation started right before their eyes, too distracted when the flesh and clothes of the girls started to shred and bleed. A man panicky trying to get an employee to do something about his account found himself wrenched from his standing position as he quickly found himself face to face with a demon.
"Shut up!" Someone shouted above the loud dinge of fear. Everyone did as the voice said and turned to see who yelled, only to regret looking. Floating slightly above the floor were two demonic children, their small frames from before were now covered in bone like metal plates and spikes fused with what little flesh remains their faces were a coarsely pale with black veins just barely visible, their eyes were pitch black with colored dots at the center. Blue for the demon with pink hair and pink for the demon with blue hair. The blue girl had more heavy plating on her right side while her twin had more on her left, the blue girl also held a man in her right hand. The two looked around the crowd before the blue girl looked at the person she caught, and started to move her hand. With the sound of a terrible crack and the man's neck bending in a way it shouldn't he was dropped to the ground dead. This caused people to start yelling and panicking again but the pink girl just slammed a staff into the ground to shut them all up.
"So Rom, what do you want to take?" The pink demon asked her twin, Rom just looked towards the back, at the vault with two guards trembling, not sure what to do.
"I want what they're hiding from us Ram." Rom said as he pointed with a clawed finger at the vault. At this point one of the guards shook free of the panic and took action, he rushed to cover and pulled out a pistol and fired at the evil twins. The people hoping for an end to this nightmare watched on, only to be disappointed and scared as the bullets made a metallic pang before dropping to the ground. The guard's gun clicked and he just looked up from his sights and saw that his attempted heroism did nothing, he quickly found himself slightly elevated off the ground by an ice shard impaling him through the chest. He slowly reached for the shard but was stopped as another entered through the back of his skull. The two floated past his corpse as they looked at the imposing vault door, only to hear it creak and groan and eventually to pop loose and crash to the ground leaving the vault open. Inside the vault were red ice crystals the twins used to break the door but those quickly melted away revealing a room with walls made of smaller vaults and at the center a table covered in money. Rom walked over to one side of the table while Ram summoned a black void at the opposite end, Rom then pushed the money into the void quickly emptying the vault. After all the money was pushed into the void Ram de-summoned it and the two walked back out the vault to an unmoved crowd. One woman, being rather patriotic, and law abiding, spoke up against the crimes being committed.
"You can't do that. Once the CPU hears." She was cut off as an ice pillar shot up from under her and impaled her. The people around the pillar quickly scrambled away and tried to hide. Rom floated herself onto one of the teller tables and looked over to her sister.
"Ram, what do you want to do about the others?" She said with a slight smirk. Ram put on an overly dramatic thinking expression before.
"I don't know Rom, I'm not really in a kind mood." Ram said her own smirk formed as she finished.
"Do you think we should?" Rom paused to line her own staff up with the employee's face that sat behind the counter. She quickly and forcefully swung her staff almost like she was golfing at the person's face, and after less than a second of cracking and ripping noises the person's head went flying towards the back of the bank.
"Punish them?" Rom finished before the twins started to look hungrily around.
*outside*
The bank was surrounded by police and special response units ready to get in and stop the situation. The leader of this group, an officer of the Planeptune police force, was leaning against the door of her car looking at the red ice that blocked the door. The ice was seemingly indestructible, it had broken a few pry bars, drills, hell even a solid steel battering ram broke trying to get in. Now the officer was watching her people wire up some low grade explosives to try and blast a hole in. she sighed and decided to look around so as to not have to watch the train wreck about to happen. She then noticed that several of her officers were looking up, so to humor them and with nothing better to do she looked up. There on the roof of the bank were two child-like figures, except the figures were covered in bone like metal plates and spikes, they also appeared to be covered in blood. The officer and some of the others just stared at the two, eventually they started to float off the roof and quickly flew away at breakneck speed. She was watching them go when someone ran up to her.
"Ma'am the ice, it's melting." The officer quickly rounded up some officers and ordered them to follow her inside. The police burst into the bank, guns drawn and ready to shoot. After seeing what was inside, they lowered their weapons. The walls, ceiling, and floor were all covered in blood and entrails. This created a repulsive yet alluring display, many in the crowd started to turn white and green yet couldn't make themselves move. After a minute of staring most left, all but the leading police officer. She carefully stepped through the blood and over chunks of people to stare at a message left on a clean patch of wall. The message read:
"Rom and Ram were here." along with this message was a childish drawing of a pink and blue character holding red messes.
Elsewhere: two small bloody hands clapped together in a high five. "Hell yeah Rom this will blow up big time." a pink clad girl exclaimed as her and her blue twin ran through an abandoned hospital they commandeered as a base.
"Yeah Ram. though I wish I grabbed a souvenir." Rom said looking around at the gorey effigies she and Ram made out of their previous victims.
"Cheer up Rom, they didn't look all that interesting anyway." Ram said, giving her twin a hug before dragging her into a room. The room was cleaner than the rest of the hospital but that was because at the center was Rom's and Ram's stash of money. Ram lifted an arm which caused a black void to appear over there stash, this then quickly dumped the money taken from the bank onto the floor.
"Hey Ram, why do we steal all this stuff?" Rom asked curious as to why they needed money if they could take what they needed.
"I don't know, those dummies seem to like having it." Ram said not sure why adults cared about money if one could just force people to give them stuff for free.
Months later: Rom and Ram found themselves sitting atop a random building in Lowee in the dead of night. The two were scrolling on their phones looking for a news article they had been waiting for.
"Ah! Here Rom I found it." Ram said, showing her phone screen to her older twin. Rom looked at it then quickly scrolled some more before finding it on her own phone. The two quietly skimmed the article, their disappointment quickly rising as they read.
"Baw, this is stupid, is all vague and shit." Ram turned her phone off and put it away before crossing her arms across her chest and puffing out her cheeks.
"It just says people died. My art I spent so much time on." Rom said, putting her own phone away before looking down and quite saddened. Ram looked at her dejected twin and pulled her into a tight hug.
"Hey come on Rom, I liked it. Hey, how about we steal all the candy from the store over there to cheer us up?" Ram suggested while pointing to a small store across the street from the building they were sitting on. Rom simply nodded and sniffed before she and Ram stood up to transform. The two's clothes and flesh started to tear as blood and bone-like metal plates forced their way to the surface and fused with what little flesh remained on their bodies. With the transformation finished their blood and clothing remnants quickly evaporated. The two opened their eyes to reveal their eyes had gone black with either a pink or blue dot as a pupil. They looked at each other and smiled a serrated tooth smile before floating over to the store front.
The store owner was up late doing minor things to prepare for tomorrow's work day when she heard the bell by the door ring signify that someone just entered. She was ducked behind the counter doing something when the bell rang making her freeze, because she had already locked the door. She carefully peeked over the counter to see who broke in, only to see the twin demons her nation called "goddesses" looking around for something. She ducked back behind the counter and looked around for the panic button she installed in case something like this happened. She pressed it.
Rom and Ram looked around the store, it was a small general store with many goods, though mostly food.
"How bout you take this aisle and I'll take this one." Ram suggested, this simply enlisted a nod from her blue mirror. Ram walked along passing shelves filled with bad food or little trinkets, when she noticed the goal of their heist, an entire shelf dedicated to sweet things. She quickly summoned her trusty heist void and started all the candy into it. On the other side of the shelf Rom's eyes darted from food item to food item, she knew her and Ram couldn't survive on just candy so she summoned a void and started to put other actual foods in. the owner peeked over again and saw the twins ransacking her store, but she hoped it would be over soon, as she heard police sirens getting close.
Ram looked up from her looting as she heard sirens and saw flashing red and blue lights getting closer. She growled before putting her fingers in her mouth and whistled to grab Rom's attention, said girl peeked her head over the shelf confused.
"Some dummy called for friends." Ram said, pointing her heavily armored left hand at the lights. Rom simply shook her head before disappearing back to her side of the shelf. Rom, In her less armored left hand summoned a fireball and threw it towards the back of the store, setting stuff on fire. The fire quickly engulfed the store helped by the twins using magic to help it spread faster. After the inside was a complete inferno the two walked outside, only to be greeted by several police officers with guns pointed at them. Upon seeing the twins the officer's eyes went wide in fear, but they quickly shook themselves into focus. The leading officer did offer any warning or ultimatum knowing his standing orders, so he simply motioned for everyone to open fire. The twins simply smiled as the bullets simply hit their bodies and fell to the ground having done nothing, though Rom was quite unhappy being able to feel something as one of the bullets hit her in a particularly sensitive place on her chest. After each gun was emptied with a click signifying empty, the cops looked up in horror to see what little effect they had. The twisted twins just chuckled at the humans before assaulting. Rom grabbed one cop by the face and yanked up taking the person's head with but leaving the rest behind. Ram, not to be out done, plunged one of her clawed hands through another police officer's chest only stopping to wrap her fingers around the person's spine. She then pulled back and down pulling the person's head and spine while making a grisly sight as she held up the spine with a dangling head aloft. Rom then grabbed an officer by the shoulder and forced her hand into their chest and quickly pulled out the person's still beating heart. She then took a bite of the heart before throwing it to the ground and tossing the corpse to the side. Ram picked up an officer and lifted them over head before bringing them down on her knee, sounding a sickening crack. She then followed up by wrapping her serrated teeth around the person's neck and jerked her head back taking a chunk of neck with, before letting go of the person. The twins then descended on the leader of the task force and slowly pulled him apart limb by limb before leaving him to bleed out on the ground. This left one cop left, a newbie no less cowering on the ground awaiting her assuredly similar horrible fate. The twins looked at her at the same time giving her a bloody smile, this caused the woman to lose control of her bladder. The twins just walked past and flew off leaving the terrified woman to pass out from fear.
