Manhattan: New York City : United States
Ninomae Ina'nis
Ina'nis sighed after she has entered the St. Patrick's Cathedral alone.
The cathedral is already closed due to the natural of how late at night the time is. But the silence around her is still strange because the building itself is being
build in the middle of the city. Being surround by forest of skyscrapers and complex streets that often filled with cars and people.
There's a reason why some people called New York 'city that never sleeps' after all.
However, there seems to be nobody around the big white cathedral in front of her at all. The street is also empty from travelers or any vehicles that usually
passed by. The streetlights still shine as brightly as ever.
But without the presence of crowds that usually talking with each other or hitting their car honks nonstop. Ina'nis couldn't help but feel a bit haunted by the
stillness of always busy city she has growing up as child.
There are people, though. A faint sound of New York citizens and vehicles could be heard from outside of the cathedral area. But nobody seems to wanting to
get close to the church tonight for some reason.
As if something supernatural has controlled them to get out of Ina'nis way.
Even the security guards that usually standing in front of the big bronze gates are missing too. Leaving the clear way for Ina'nis to breaking inside the
monastery through its front door.
Priestess took a deep breath as she is gently pushing the bronze gate with her tentacles. Trying to not thinking about her fighting with Haato earlier…
…
30 minute before the current event
Ina'nis Apartment.
" I will not going!" Haato sitting stubbornly on the sofa, crossing her legs and hugging spider and pig inside her arms.
" Are you blind? They just took our friends as a hostage!" Ina'nis shouted, shoving the picture at the girl's face.
" I barely known them! Beside, it is obvious that this is a trap. If you go there. They will just chopped your head off and putting it inside an ice bucket!"
" This is why I wanna bring you with me. Think about it! If it was porky and spidey who being captured. Wouldn't you asked me to help them out as well?"
Ina'nis questioned, pointing at the giant spider and golden pig Haato is hugging.
Blonde girl snorted. " No way! I like them, but not enough to throwing my life away by walking into a plain trap.
Maybe you can find some friends that foolish enough to follow you into that.
How about telling some Myths girls to go with you? But don't expected me to joined the suicidal trip you are about to go."
" I thought we were friends?" Ina'nis decided to pulled a b*tch moves and reminded Haato of the days and nights they spent together.
But the blonde girl is not convinced.
" When is the last time you see friends risking their lives saving each other? In Hollywood movie perhaps? I will help you if you can come up with more
reasonable plan than just running straight at that church and knocks the door asking where you friends are.
But you seem to have none of that, aren't you?" Haato sneered.
Ina'nis gets up from her chair.
" I understand now why gods and council like you never accomplish a thing. Are you going to calculate before farting too?" Haato going to answers,
but Ina'nis rising her hand to stopped the blonde girl.
" Just wait for me here and doing nothing then. Isn't this is your favorite thing? Like all the gods human worshipped in the past?"
Ina'nis looking at the clock. In a few minutes it will be 02.00 AM. She will have go there by flying then. Normal transportation is not gonna fast enough.
" I didn't say that—! Hey, Ina!" Haato going to replied something, but Ina'nis already closed her apartment door, shutting the girl up.
…
Back to Present Time
Inside the St. Patrick's Cathedral is not as dark as Ina'nis has feared.
Everything is as beautiful as the time she visited this place with her parents as a child. Hundreds of wooden pew chairs and decorated altars gleamed under
both electric and candlelight as the massive white marble columns help enchanting the brightness inside.
A thousand of colorful stained glasses also do their duty too, filling the hall with colorful light that being shine on them.
If Ina'nis is not so stressed right now. She might think that the atmosphere here was quite beautiful.
As she is scanning every corner of the cathedral. A voice of someone suddenly speaking. A bit louder than usual due to the fact that they are inside the big
building right now.
" Welcome. Welcome. I know that you will be here in no time. Where is you friend Hachama?" Magni Dezmond said from where he is standing near the
sanctuary altar. The old vampire Haato has described to Ina'nis is also standing next to him. They seemed to be waiting for her for quite a while.
" She didn't want to come. More importantly, where are my friends? No, where is everyone in this cathedral?
Wasn't there is supposed to be a monks or whatever living here?" Ina'nis demanded, deciding to not telling them about different between Haato and Hachama
since she is not so sure about it either.
The vampire snorted. " Magni has cooked some drugs that make everyone in the area sleep before we will relocate them toward somewhere else.
And creating a perfume that cause normal human to instinctively leaving the area around the church too. We are not monsters, you know?
While wanting to kill you. There are no need for unwanted casualties. Now if you admitted your fate and just let we kill you. Everyone will-"
" I will asked you one last time. Where do you keep my friend!" Ina'nis stomping the ground, causing ever pew chairs inside the nave
(central part of the church building.) to moving forward for ten centimeters.
" Kid nowadays. Forget to used their eyes, eh?" The old vampire smirked, while Magni muttering something like. 'Not again, Vesper.'
Before he will pointing the spear in his hand at one of the decorated columns above the sanctuary altar. Just under the stained glass where there is enough
gap for one or two person to laying there if they are small enough. Letting Ina'nis to see Jennifer and Alicia that being place on top of the left and right pillars.
" Your friends are there. Do I need to say that their safety is up to you-" Before Vesper could finish his sentences.
Ina'nis already flying at him with her jet propulsion. Closing 40 meters gap within a few seconds.
" I told you she won't let us finish our speeches!" Magni yelled, using his artificial arms to creating multiple rugby sized granite bullets that flying at Ina'nis
as if they were being fired by machine gun.
Priestess eyes shine as she is moving her left hands, pulling five wooden pew chairs to blocking those bullets and then throwing all of them at Magni and
Vesper with her space magic, forcing them to dodged as multiple chairs and Magni own bullets are being fired back at his face.
Cracking part of the walls and marble columns behind him by accident.
Ina'nis did not bother to look at the result and flying towards her friends, reaching her tentacles toward Alice since she is laying on the nearest pillars.
" My turn!" Vesper shouted, rising his spear and jumping at Ina'nis from the left side of her body.
Priestess managed to bending his spearhead with her magic power. But she still crashing with his body at the speed of 200 kilometers per hours and being
slammed down on the church's floor, crushing eight chairs by accident before Ina'nis will pumping her jets propulsion and flying upward with Vesper.
Smashing into one of the white columns and breaking it in half, causing couple of massive church bells to start ringing from the impacts from their bodies.
" My ears!" Vesper moaned, for a vampire who mainly sensing the world through sound and vibrations. The church bell ringing up close is feel like when
human looking straight into exploding flash grenade with open eyes.
Ina'nis didn't waste times, she wrapping two of her tentacles around Vesper legs and throwing him towards the center of the church floor,
crushing some tables and the marble underneath it before priestess will landing on top of the confusing vampire and start punching his face nonstops.
Vesper roared and grabbing one pew chair and swinging as hard as he could, knocking Ina'nis back for over 20 meters and breaking the chair in half in the
process. The grandpa vampire then charging at Ina'nis and start punching her face too.
Ina'nis blocked some of them with her tentacles before they will start exchanging fists in the middle of the cathedral.
Surprisingly, despite having lower strength, Ina'nis managed to gaining an upper hand against the vampire because she have two hands and eight tentacles.
While Vesper have only twos, no matter how fast he can throw them. While one fists from the vampire may easily cause broken bones or bruise muscles.
Priestess already used similar force to punching him ten times all over his body from different angles with her tentacles.
After a ten seconds or so. Vesper finally being pushed down. Unable to keep up with Ina'nis and her ten fists throwing.
But as Ina rising her arm to finished him. Magni suddenly shooting fireball from his artificial hands, hitting priestess from behind and knocking her down
before he will grabbing her tentacles with five artificial arms, locking them into place as Vesper quickly gets up and kicking Ina'nis face as hard as he could,
sending the girl to bursting through the church roof before falling downward through the same hole. Stunning for a moment by surprise attacks.
"Magni. Now!" Vesper yelled, combining eight of his spears together while Ina'nis struggling to gets up and pointing her tentacles at them.
Each one shining before shooting multicolor laser beam toward the vampire and alchemist from different angles. Make it harder for them to dodge.
" Gungnir !" " Magmite go!"
Vesper throwing his combination giant spear at Ina'nis, blocking the beam that running at them and forcing the priestess to flying upward and dodged the
attack, toward three Magmite that leaping at her from the ceiling, wrapping their slimy body around the priestess and send her crashing into one of the altar,
breaking it down by the impact.
" Mixing spells. Catalyst !" Magni shouted, commanding his artificial arms to blasting multiple elements magic at the struggles Ina'nis.
Sending sheet of iron to wrapping around her body hard enough to kill Magmite that hugging her first before following with a ball of flames and water,
confusing priestess with differentiate of temperatures and then zapping Ina with three lightning strikes.
While Ina'nis is still struggling to gets up. Vesper lifting one saint statue from the floor and throwing it at the priestess, knocking her backward for several
meters and shattering the item with the impact alone.
The liquid from squeezed Magmite also helping them too. The slimy thing wrapping itself around Ina'nis body and draining her magic power.
Make it impossible for Ina'nis to gets up, let alone focusing enough to using any more spells against her opponents right now.
" See? Even without ranger and tanks ( Axel and Regis ) supporter and damage dealer like us can still kicks!" Vesper laughed, unsheathed his sword and
walking toward Ina'nis who is laying on the floor, unable to move for a moment.
He rising his sword and stop when Magni is yet to join him.
" What is it, Mag? Let get this sh*t over with and then go back to our world! I am sick of this alien realm after all.
Too many noise even when you were living in the sewage area."
Magni already mixing the super acid that can melt everything. But still reluctant to pouring it on Ina'nis.
" Let me have a word with her first."
The vampire snorted but stepping aside anyways. Ina'nis probably unable to running away at this moment.
" Hey, wake up! I have a question." Magni asked, snapping his fingers to gain dizzy Ina'nis attention.
" At the time when we were fighting on the train. Why don't you just run away when it was about to collide? It is clear that you cannot stop them by yourself."
Alchemist want to know why the priestess of ancient one who best known for wanting to destroyed the entire realm.
Will risk herself to saving a flock of people she barely knew.
" Ina'nis blinked. Her brain is not fully functioning enough to thinking straight. But she answered anyways.
" I…lost someone important before. I won't let anyone faced something like that again… not if I can help it."
Magni looks disappointed. He probably preferred to have her said something like ' I need as many people as possible to live while I sacrificed them to the
ancient one' along the lines.
" Don't listen to her, Magni. She probably trying to act good to impressed us or something. Anyone who worships something like ancient one cannot be good."
Vesper warned.
Magni shook his head. " I am using special incense that will make people talks out of their minds right now.
This is the truth. Or at least what she is believing."
Vesper growled. " It doesn't change a thing! Remember why we are here? To save the world from ancient one awakening. Goddess Jenma told us that much."
" I…never wanting to be…priestess. My father turns me… to saving my life. I hate this body, but I can't let my father down by dying right now.
He wanted me to find… happiness." Ina'nis muttered some more confusing words. But it's enough for them to understand the situation.
" She didn't become the priestess by her own wills, bro! From what I gathered. She doesn't even know the meaning of it!
We cannot kill her for what she has no intentions to do." Magni said, stepping away from the laying girl.
" Don't act like those priest right now, Magni. How many monster's we have killed so far? By that logic. The orc that raided and burning human villages did
not deserved to be killed too. They just following their instinct.
We kill dangerous thing because it could harm us. Not because it is evil!" Vesper lectured his friend.
" We can wait for a moment! I need to thinking this through." Magni insisted.
Vesper chuckled. " This is why I hate working with scholars. Reading too much books will filled you with nothing but strange idea.
Fine! Just stand and watch why I cut her head off."
Vesper drawing his sword at the half awake Ina'nis, but Magni's artificial arms are already getting in his way before he could properly swings it.
" What are you doing, bud?" Granny vampire asked.
" I said we have to think about this first. How about- wait, what's that?"
Magni stopped his lectures when seeing something sliding through the nave toward them. It is a big pot that still bubbling from heat,
as if somebody just decided to cooking in the middle of this cathedral for some reason.
" Where did it came from… by any circumstances, Vesper. Don't open it!" Magni warned, before he will shouting at his friend that immediately opens the pot
without thinking.
" What the hell, Dude! I just told you not to open it!"
Vesper grinned. " Are you afraid of a single pot right now? Come on! I can smell only a cooked food inside it. Nothing to be worry about."
Old vampire lifted the lid open. Showing his friend that there is nothing inside this pot except from purple liquid that is bubbling inside.
Probably a stew of some kinds.
" A normal food? But why?" Magni questioned, still looking at the pot wearily.
" Maybe there is a hidden message inside it, let me checked." Vesper grabbing some silver spoon he found in cardinal room,
before he will using it to checking inside the pot.
" A meat, vegetable. Nothing more. What do you think-"
" Vesper, your arms!" Magni yelled, pointing his finger at the vampire arms, where hundreds of spiders are crawling from inside the pot toward Vesper body
by the spoon he is holding.
" F**k!" The vampire yelled, tossing the spoon away and quickly rubbing his body against the marble walls in order to get rid off those spiders.
" Help!" The vampire shouted as the more and more of spiders start pouring out of the pot. Filling the white marble around them with their black bodies.
Magni mixing a strong pesticide liquid in order to help his friend. But the spider pot then suddenly explodes, knocking both man away for several meters.
The purple liquid falling on Ina'nis body, melting metal sheet and Magmite that binding her but did not touch the girl skin for some reason.
When Ina finally managed to moving her arms and legs again. Akai Haato who dressed in her usual blue and white uniform,
but being decorated with Ina'nis apron and cooking knives is already standing next to her, shoving the pot and pan behind her back as she offers the ancient
one priestess a hand.
Ina chuckled before grabbing the blonde girl's hand.
" Took you long enough!"
" Don't get the wrong idea!" Haato said, turning her face from Ina'nis as she is hugging her own chest.
" I am here just to settle old score with that vampire. That's it!"
Feeling that Ina'nis is giving her a weird looks. Haato couldn't help but broke into a smiles.
" Just kidding! Watching you make me remember why I and my sister choose to be the chaos goddess in the first place.
We aren't here to bring the back the balances. We are here to throwing balance out of the window!"
" Look at what you did, Magni! Because of your indecision. Now we have to faced two of them at the same time!" Vesper complained, collecting all of his
spear and let it flying behind his back like a bizarre wings.
Magni groaned. " You can blamed me later if we survived this!"
" Twos versus twos? Now that's a bit even!" Ina'nis shaking her head, before she and Haato will glaring at the vampire and alchemist in front of them.
"" Time to kicks some ass!"" Ina and Haato said at the same time, charging at the enemies together as they are speaking.
" Don't underestimate us, you fools!" Vesper controlling all of his spears to flying at Ina'nis and Haato. Forcing them to dodged and separate from each
other long enough for him and Magni to retreating from where they are standing.
" Ina! Squid combo!" Haato yelled as she is climbing on one of the pillars. Ina has no idea what she is talking about, but decided to shooting one Ikadachi at
the blonde girl, who pulling a fry pan out of her bag and swinging it, sends the explosive squid to flying at Magni who is charging his magic power,
forcing him to drop everything he is doing and creating a dirt dome to protect his body from the explosion.
" Have you forgotten about me?" Vesper snarled, throwing both spears in his hands at Haato, but Ina'nis then waves her hands and sending one wooden
chair to blocking the flying spears, before she will using her minds power to pulled a dozens of church's organ tubes out of its body in order to throwing
them at Vesper, who swore and darting behind the stone columns in order to let those the metal tubes impales the pillars and walls instead of his body.
Magni roared and throwing a bottle of explosive liquid at Ina'nis from behind, but Haato throwing one of her iron flipper at it,
sends the bombs to blowing back at Magni face and knocking him down again.
Vesper pulling some organ tubes from the wall and throwing them at Haato, but Ina'nis stopping them midair with her power and throwing the tubes back at
Vesper, impaling his shoulder with one of the columns before she and Haato will drop kicking him at the same time,
breaking the columns down and sends him flying back toward where Magni is laying.
Haato and Ina then reaching their friends Jenny and Alice at last. Priestess quickly opening the portal that linking toward her bedroom before she will tossing
them inside it after checking that the girls are still alive.
Both girls thinking of following their friends for a moment before they will decided that they are enough of running today.
So Ina and Haato nodded at each other before they will flying at the alchemist and his vampire friends, ready to finish this once for all.
" We cannot fight them at the same time! You lured Hachama over there while I fight priestess here!" Magni suggested, causing Vesper to nodded and flying
toward the opposite end of the church. Before he will standing upside down on top of its high ceilings.
" Over here, you b* tch!" Vesper shouted, causing Haato to run after him while Magni quickly using more of his blood magic, summoning four Magmite
and sending them toward Ina'nis, forcing the priestess to stop and shooting her tentacles beam at them and let Haato fighting with Vesper on her own.
Akai Haato
Haato jumping on one of the pillars and then the walls as she is throwing her cooking knife at Vesper.
But the vampire using his spear to brushing them aside before they will crashing into each other, breaking through one of the big stained glass on top
of one columns and almost falling outside of the cathedral area has she not kicking the stone wall and pushing them back inside.
Vesper grabbing Haato by her neck and them slamming her into the wall, shattering part of it before he will lifted the girl up again and biting into her
shoulder, sucking Haato's blood through his fangs.
The black liquid that pouring inside is mouth is the foulest things Vesper ever tried in his life.
After a few seconds, he was being forced to stop sucking Haato's blood and vomiting, before the blonde girl will using this chances to swinging her fry pan at
his chin, knocking the vampire from the ceiling and hitting the ground by surprised.
" Your soul are rotten!" Vesper snarled, spitting black liquid from his mouth in vain hope of getting rid off its smell.
Haato chuckled. " I will take that as a compliment!" She then leaping at Vesper with butcher knife in her hands and slashing at him, but the vampire is ready
this time and grabbing the girl's arm midair, before he will thrown her at one of the organ that standing nearby,
crushing it and sending a loud sound from the tube to echoing throughout the building by accident.
" Ah, sh*t!" Vesper groaned, clutching his ears that being disturbed by the noise pollution.
Ninomae Ina'nis
Magni shooting multiple lightnings and sends them after Ina'nis, forcing the priestess to using octagon energy shield to blocking them as she is trying to get
close to her enemy as much as possible.
Some of her tentacles reaching toward Magni from behinds, but he is already saw it coming and throwing some chairs at them,
slowing the slimy things down long enough for him to gaining some more distance again.
Ina'nis controlled one broken pillar to flying at him like a spear, but Magni then blowing super acid from his bottle, melting it all within a second or twos.
The smoke that coming from the melted marble make it hard for Ina'nis to properly seeing her enemy. And when she using her power to blows the smoke
away. Magni is already gone from her sight.
Ina quickly scanning her surroundings. Her eyes darted from empty hallway toward the broken chair and then the piles of debris that used to be an altars.
Everything seems to be in its place as how she remembered. But Magni is nowhere to be found.
" Yoo-hoo!" Magni who is hiding behind one of the marble columns waving at her, Ina'nis flinched and rising her tentacles at him.
She is too focus on the alchemist and didn't see two Magmite that jumping at her until it was too late. One of them wrapping itself around her head and
sinking through Ina'nis skin. While the other jumping at her back and doing a similar thing, making the priestess stumbles.
Ina choked on Magmite liquidate body and trying to aimed her tentacles cannon at the smiling Magni, but laser that being fired from the things suddenly
disappeared before it could even running further than 1 meters. Ina'nis trying to fired her beam again and again but end up with similar results.
Her body starting to lose it strength too. Priestess already kneeling down as her arms and legs have become weaker and weaker,
barely enough to lifted her body weight at all.
" People always said that ancient one has unlimited power over space and it may be true. But his priestess is not.
There are limits of what one mortal can do. Especially human from a magic-less world like you!" Magni smiled, lifting his clothes to showing the magic power
that being transferred toward his body.
" Magmite are the summoned monster's that being created by my blood. So it is very easy for me to linking their power with me.
Whatever they have taken. I will have my own share too. Including the power they can absorbed from you!"
Ina'nis trying to tearing the Magmite off her head, but the girl's fingers simply running through its body. How can she supposed to touch liquid?
" Ah! So much power in a single person. I wonder if I have to change class to the space magic sorcerer after this is over?
No alchemist will be able to gaining this much mana inside their body throughout their lifetime. Much less in a day like this!"
Magni roared, his body starting to swelled by the energy within. His artificial arms also moving around hyperactively.
Having ten times energy more than how it's usually get already.
" As much as I would like to keep boasting around. My body probably could not survived all this power. So I figured that I can giving this back to you instead
of just letting them go wasted!" Magni smiles, the tattoos from his body start glowing as five of his artificial arms is pointing at Ina'nis in unison.
" Eh, I am not a master of space magic or anything. Should I call this spell Nebula or atomic? Whatever. It's not like you will survived long enough to
complain about it anyway." The alchemist nodded, commanding his five artificial hands to blasting their space magic beam at Ina'nis at the same time.
The combination attacks sends the priestess flying across the hall room and crashing into the opposite end of where she is standing right now,
causing part of the cathedral to crumbling down on her body.
Akai Haato
The broken stained glass leaving an opening for hundreds of bat to flying at Haato's body, forcing the blonde girl to running around as she is being hit from
every direction by the army of angry bats.
All of them are screeching and biting into every soft parts of her body at the same time.
That is not the worst part, though. Vesper are also hot for her tails too. The old vampire standing still but commanding multiple organ tubes that falling from
the broken organ to flying at her like a laser guide missiles.
Haato managed to jumps around in order to dodge the first six of them. But the seventh finally hitting her shoulder when she is clapping two bats off her
face. Sends the blonde girl to crashing into one altar that gets into the way, breaking it into pieces.
Vesper grabbing his spear before he will walking toward the pile of crumbled stones. But when he looking over it to find Haato's body.
There is only a few drops of blood on the floor. While the girl herself has crawled on one of the pillar and jumping at the old vampire from behind,
swinging organ pipe at his head.
Vesper managed to dodged in the last minute but the sound of metal pipe hitting marble is still enough to make him flinched.
So Haato has time using her left hand to slamming fry pan right into his right cheek before beating his left cheek with organ pipe. And then clapping pipe
and pan together when he is about to strike back, creating a sound waves that stunning Vesper long enough for her to continue beating him with both
weapons in her hands more than five times.
Good time of course, could not last forever. Vesper unsheathed his sword just long enough to cutting both pipe and pan out of Haato's hands before he will
repeatedly headbutting her. Smashing the girl's skull hard enough to cracking it and cause Haato to falls down on her knees.
Having not enough strength to fight back anymore.
" I never knows that one day I will be the one who kill Hachama, the goddess of chaos." Vesper said, raising his sword at the chest level.
" You never will." Haato spat, still looking right into his eyes at the moment that the blade has cutting through her throat.
…
Noir Vesper
Vesper sighed after watching at Hachama's headless body. It was a good fight, he can giving the girl that much.
His rank as an adventurer should be rising above charts if Vesper can prove that he could kill the god of chaos in one on one fight.
Hell, he could even retired and become a duke just for that alone.
No more living in the small cabin that being baked with urinate smells forever with four males companions!
But how can he produce an evidence though? A words will not enough even when Magni can be his witness.
Nobody will believe in two dudes that claimed to be the god slayer after all. No, physical evidence is a must.
Vesper picking the blonde girl's head up and impaling it with his spearhead before letting the item to float over his shoulder.
This will do for now. He will asked Magni to created a box of ice to preserve Hachama's head later. But Vesper has to know where Magni is first…
But wasn't it a bit too easy? Hachama has destroyed more planets than number of Vesper's cake day. ( Which is not just a few centuries BTW.)
If she could be defeat by one swing of sword. Then any jackass could probably do it long time ago.
And then Vesper remembered, the tales of Hachama he used to listen to as a child.
A hero killed Hachama with spicy food and Philippino tap water. And when he turned back. Hachama's feet are already around his neck, choking him…
Vesper turning back as fast as he can, rising his sword- but there is nothing suspicious here. Hachama's headless body still laying where it is supposed to be.
Black blood finally stop flowing from the wounds after some time has passed.
Just to be sure, Vesper lifting one of his spear up and soaking its blade with raw egg and chilies. Before he will stabbing at the body's stomach area.
To see if chaos god has trick her own dead or not.
The spear running through the girl's body and drawing some more black blood from the wounds. But there is no unusual movement coming from it at all.
Not even a single twitch.
So, a story of immortal Hachama is just a tall tales after all. Vesper sighed in relief and reaching his hands to touch the girl's decapitated head on his
shoulder… and could feel only empty spearhead and dripping black blood. Hachama's head is no longer there for quite some time.
Vesper almost having a panic attacks. Drawing his sword with left hand. Touching his own head to make sure that Hachama has not replaced it like how his
grandmother described. And then looking around the room. Expecting to see Hachama's head leaps on him from the corner of his eyes.
" Yes, you may have defeated me, Akai Haato." A cheerful voice saying from the top of his head. Old vampire quickly looked up and seeing that the head that
is not Hachama after all climbing with its twin tails hairs toward one of the giant church bell. The head then turning back to grinned at him,
continuing to talks even when there are blood dripping from her mouth.
" But you never faced my sister yet. Why don't you introduced yourself yet, sis?"
Haato's body twisted, Vesper just realized that he is holding a spear that being impaled with the girl's body right now.
The full grow vampire quickly dropping it and screams like a girl. He is a creature of the night , but nothing prepared him to witness this.
The girls body ripped open itself. A rib cages growing three times than its normal size as the black liquid spraying all over the place.
A long greenish intestines pulling itself free from the body and then thrashing around like elephant trunk. An inch long sharp things growing out of it like a
cactus spikes.
While the heart and lungs changing their colors and turned into something similar to the eyes of spider before it will darting at vesper face.
And then the girl's inside body then twist into a strange smiling shaped. Before the intestine will literally speaking with it fart-likes sound at the same time
with Haato's head on the ceiling.
" Hachamachama!"
Ninomae Ina'nis
Ina'nis trying to crawl out of the pile of debris that buried her like a hatchling turtle. But Magni can see her and blasting some kind of chemicals on the marble
walls, causing it to collapse and falling on Ina'nis head. Sending the girl to laying next to the remaining of saint that resting here for centuries ago.
The priestess trying to crawl out of the basement with both arms. But she is being grabbed by Magni's artificial arms first.
" No need to running away. Vesper probably finished your friend off by now.
And trust me, he is not someone who you wanted to faced in combat situations. No matter how much she begged, Hachama will not leave this cathedral
alive."
Noir Vesper
" Mom! Come and pick me up! I am scared!" Vesper yelped in desperation. The Hachama body running through the length of spear in his hand and knocking
him flat on the ground while Haato's head is laughing nonstop as if they were in some kind of comedy tv shows right now.
It's ribcages is now longer than human arms and moving in a way that reminds Vesper of the spider, though he doesn't want to looking at it for too long.
The spikey intestine wrapping around vampire's body and choking him like a python grips while the ribs is trying biting into his face nonstop.
If Vesper continues to doing nothing, he will being eaten alive for sure.
Grandpa vampire pulling his silver dagger out ( good for killing monster, though it hurt his vampire self too. So he has to be very careful here.) and cutting
the enemy intestine from his body. Pulling himself free long enough to kicking into Hachama body and sends her crashing against the pillar that stands five
meters away.
So silver is working after all. Vesper rising is dagger… and realized that it beautiful blade is now melting like snow in front of fireplace.
" Ha! Ha! Acid inside my sister body can melt metal within a few seconds. Your weapons are mostly useless here!"
" Thanks for the fact. Ms. Obvious!" Vesper yelled, throwing the half melting dagger at Haato's head which squealed before crawling away as fast as it twin
tails can moves.
" It's time for brainless brawling then!" Vesper roared as his body become bigger and more muscular. The surviving bats circling around the vampire's body
as he is roaring toward the moonlight that shone through the mosaic picture of Virgin Mary before he will running straight toward Hachama.
Crashing into her and sends both of them to bursting through multiple pillars as if they were being made by foams.
Some rib cages trying to pierces through his body. But Vesper ripping it with his bare hands and stabbing at what appeared to be Hachama's heart but
actually her eyes. Causing the intestine to screaming in pain as he is lifting Hachama by her legs and swinging it toward one angel's statue,
shattering the during the process.
He then spinning around like a tornado and throwing Hachama across the hall, crushing at least 50 of wooden chairs inside the room before
the girl's headless body will managed to stop itself at the center of the nave.
The vampire then running straight at the fallen enemy with spear in right hand and one chair in his left hand like a shield.
Ready to throwing another blows at the girl if necessary.
The remaining of Hachama intestine puffed like a balloon as she is standing up by one leg. Before it will shooting a jet of purple liquid at Vesper when he was
ten meters away from her.
The acid melt through wooden chair and boar hunting spear like it was nothing. Forcing the vampire to tossing all of that away before the liquid could
touching his body.
Vesper remove his gaze from the melting equipment and glaring at where Hachama supposed to be. But there is nothing there except for some of his
screaming bat.
" What the…" Vesper gulped, pulling the string that he used as a belt into his hands before he will turning around. But there is no trace of Hachama body
and Haato's head left behinds.
Grandpa vampire then decided to using alternative way of searching. He closed his eyes and listened to the bats' sonar that echoes around him instead.
Trying to located the movement of the hidden enemies with a hundreds of ears rather than a pairs of eyes.
A sound that bounced toward his long ears telling Vesper that something is moving nearby. From one of the collars at the left side of his body.
It start climbing higher up, searching for the right angle…
There!
Vesper jerking back at the same time as when Hachama body is leaping at him from above. But the vampire is ready this time and throwing his belt toward
the monster, wrapping the item around her arms and legs before he will stepping aside as Hachama has a rough landing on the ground,
shattering part of the marble floor by the crashing itself.
The (former) chaos god snarled with her intestine and trying to cut the black belt that binding her body right now with sharp ribs.
But no matter how much she tried. The item seem to not being affected by her bones and it acidic liquid at all.
All she can do right now is to slowly rolling around like football. But the movement is barely fast enough to run away from walking human.
Much less for vampire like Vesper.
" No use, girl! My belt has been built since the age of saucy Jack era. The thing is being formed with Fujoshi's believes. Bait internet pose and H*rny
grips(magical substance that can attached to almost everything) itself. Even god like you could not pulled yourself free from it that easily."
Vesper grinned, searching the pile of debris until he finally found his sword that falling for some time before and pick the thing up, examining its blade.
" If I wait a years. You may be able to get yourself free by doing that. But sadly, we don't have much time. And I don't want to see the item that belongs to
my family. The Count of Noir, being destroyed by the like of you. So it seems that we must end our fight right here and now." The vampire laughed when
seeing that Hachama is desperately trying to biting into the belt with newly grew mouth without any visible result.
Vesper then drawing his sword close to the girl's body, ready to chopping her in half.
" Any last words?" He asked.
Hachama rib cages grinned. " Do you like bells?"
Vesper going to asked her what she is talking about when the shadow of something looming on his head.
The old vampire lifted his head up just in time to see the massive church bell that is falling right into his face.
" F**k me." Vesper said solemnly, before he will being crushed under the body of bell itself. The sound that produced from the bell alone is loud enough to
knocking the vampire out cold, especially now that he is being trapped under it.
" Are you okay?" Haato's head asked her Hachama's body. She is the one who crawling toward one of those big church bells that hanging over the cathedral's
ceiling before detaching it with acidic saliva, causing the thing to falling at Vesper when he wasn't looking.
But the plan can only success with Hachama help too. She has to rolling toward the right place where Vesper will be standing under the bell.
Or else Haato's attack will probably missed.
So, in a sense. This is a two against one match more than the one on one fight Vesper wanted to perform.
" Good." Hachama said. " Now can you please release me from this belt? Too dark for my styles."
Haato's head dropping on the ground next to her twins. But the girl stops just a moment before she will touching the bound Hachama.
" Is it your plan that we reincarnated in the same body?"
" No!" Hachama declined.
" I just stole a bit of 'Speaker of Space' power. To reviving your body. I don't know why my consciousness is being put inside it too, though."
Haato sighed. " When I think about it. Do people even see us in the same room on Butayaro planet? Maybe this is why people never separated our statue in
their temples. We are the two side of the same coin all along."
Hachama snorted. " What is the point of that? We can coexist before and we will continue to coexist til our last day in the universe.
Instead of bothers searching for our origins you better focus on who have hurt us instead.
Those council members separated us apart, stripped our power. Destroyed our bodies and souls.
But they can never kill us. Not us, Haato and Hachama, the strongest IDOL of the universe. And we will not just lay down to being beaten again any longer.
It our time to fight back. Using our knowledge about council and gods to helping people of this world out.
They will need it. Need us. And after we can coexist, one day we might be able to find those council again and spitting at their eyes."
" Or they might find us." Haato said, slowly unbind the belt that wrapping around Hachama's body.
" But it still sounds funny than waiting to be deleted again anyways. So let's just rolls with that."
