S2 Chapter 32: Yamai Clash, Part 1

By : Tohka_Yatogami

...

Summary

Even a similar story can take it's own path. Shido and Mana are amnesiac siblings living with their friend Kotori, however the past catches up to Shido when he nearly runs into a space quake, and his world changes as one girl asks... "Are you here to kill me?" (Stronger Ratatoskr, weaker DEM, games & movie are canon to story) [Shido/Tohka/Harem]

Alright, time for the tenth story arc and the seventh Spirit, or I guess Spirits in this case considering its our favorite Spirit twins, of this story... Yamai Clash! Kaguya and Yuzuru are flying in, but not to Tenguu City. They'll be meeting everyone on their school trip to... Okinawa! That was actually where the school originally planned to go in canon, but the DEM had a group under them change it at last minute in an attempt to capture Tohka.

Unfortunately for them, due to the Date AST Re:Strike story arc, the base on Arubi Island was destroyed and it's already been compromised, so now they've gotta play by different rules. Good news is that those not in school won't be excluded at home, but I'll let the chapter show you why they'll be able to come rather than say why. We'll also finally see Ellen back in action with her new CR-Unit and reveal who the new Adeptus 3 is.

What I can say now is she's both canon AND non-canon, more specifically she uses a canon character design, but everything else about her I made myself aside from her CR-Unit's name and weapon. You might be surprised on who's character design I went with. Also, we have another surprise guest, but I don't think I need to say who it is since last chapter's already showed you a certain individual keeps following Shido's group in a sense.

Now, let's see the Yamai twins' data sheet before we show how Shido deals with double trouble now, shall we?

Oh! I should say this before I forget, most likely you'll see Natsumi say things that Yoshinon would have said if she was still present, sometimes it feels like she does that in Yoshinon's place when she and Yoshino are together.

-Kaguya Yamai & Yuzuru Yamai, Code Name: [Berserk]-

Angel: Raphael, the "Hurricane Knight" - Raphael is a powerful futuristic bow that shoots out powerful bursts of wind that shred territory barriers like cutting a cake, however due to the nature of being owned by two individuals, its manifested as two bows instead of one. The two bows aren't able to attack one another due to one of Raphael's alternate forms, so they only use them when fighting together.

- Alternate Form: El Re'em, the "Piercer" - The alternate form of Kaguya's Raphael, by absorbing the rest of the Angel's body into the bow's frame, Kaguya transforms it into a giant lance. She tends to call its main attack the "Sturn Lanza" for some unknown reason.

- Alternate Form: El Na'ash, the "Constrictor" - The alternate form of Yuzuru's Raphael, by absorbing the rest of the Angel's body into the bow's frame, Kaguya transforms it into a pendulum. This pendulum however turns into a spike tipped chain the moment after its summoned.

- Alternate Form: El Kan'aph, the " Thing That Shoots the Heaven " - By combining both of their Raphael's while in their original forms, Kaguya and Yuzuru create a three-pronged bow that manifests their combined power together. They can each shoot an arrow from their side separately, or pull all three strings to fire a single arrow that could destroy an entire ship its territory barrier wasn't pulled up to defend against it.

- Powers: The Yamai twin s' elemental affinity as Spirits is Air/Wind, their manipulation of the element is so powerful that their arrival causes a hurricane faster than normally possible... from each of them! Such forms of wind manipulation include offense strikes, gale barriers, and as a tag team they can even form a cyclone if they wanted. Despite being a single spirit sharing a Sephira Crystal, they've been confirmed to each be as strong as the past wielders of the crystal, meaning they're technically counted as two separate Spirits sharing the same power source.

Everyone stared at the large spread of food was seen on the table for breakfast, with Natsumi standing by it and wearing an apron while holding a ladle in her hand and give a look of triumph despite her closed eyes.

"Whoa, you made all of this Natsumi!?" Kotori asked.

"I did, disguising myself as Shido around the time I came to Tenguu gave me his cooking skills. Since I did kinda steal Shido for a date the other day, I figured I'd make this my apology for that." Natsumi answered, and soon Mana takes a bit. "Well?"

Mana's eyes widen and smiles.

"So good, it really is like big brother's food!" Mana exclaimed, spinning happily before stopping to give a thumb's up. "Two heads are definitely better than one for cooking!"

Natsumi smiles at that, and at that moment, everyone looks to see a tired Rio and Mayuri teleport into the house.

"Rio? Mayuri? You're already back?" Rinne asked, soon catching the former as she nearly fell over. "Poor things, you look like your about to faint. What happened?"

"Nothing much, we just finally got tired of trying to find Zodiac and just went to visit Sister again and ask if the other Spirits were OK and then decided we'd just have Ratatoskr help us figure out Zodiac's location. We probably should have done that in the first place." Mayuri said, shakily sitting at the table before noticing Natsumi.

"Oh hey Natsumi, using your older form again I see."

Natsumi blinks before looking at Mayuri as she ate, she scratched her head briefly as she thought of how to reply to that and then decided to just say it.

"Uh... I'm not using my powers right now Mayuri, this is what I actually look like." Natsumi answered, causing Mayuri to start choking and forcing Origami to give her a Heimlich in response. After getting back into her mouth, Mayuri swallowed it normally.

"What!? But you... we saw... how did... huh?" Mayuri muttered confused. Rio looks at Natsumi, and gasp as she bopped a fist into her hand.

"That's what Rio was forgetting! Rio met Natsumi when she looked like this, that's why Rio didn't notice anything when Natsumi was kid sized." Rio replied, making Natsumi and Rinne sweat drop. "Did Rio repeat the obvious Mama?"

Rinne nodded a bit and chuckled.

"Well good news is since you're here, you can join us on Shido's school trip now!" Rinne smiled, soon holding up a pamphlet to their vacation spot. "They're all going to spend the next few days in Okinawa!"

"Okinawa? Rio's never visited there, Rio's excited!" Rio replied, jumping for joy as her previous fatigue disappeared in an instant. "Didn't Yoshino visit Okinawa once?"

Yoshino chuckled oddly at that.

"Yeah... to run away from the DEM, and then freeze them." Yoshino blushed embarrassingly, making everyone suddenly drop the subject. "I wouldn't be able to go anyways, I'm not a part of Shido's class."

"Aw man, for once not going to school became a bad thing!" Tohka groaned, Natsumi had a similar dark cloud form above her. Rinne suddenly giggled and wagged her finger.

"Who said you guys couldn't go? True normally students are, but chaperones are allowed to bring non-students guests with them if they get permission." Rinne answered, suddenly making everyone look at her. "Oh yeah, did I not mention that yet? Got permission the other day."

-Flashback Start-

As class had ended for the day and everyone had heard about the School trip, Rinne suddenly opened the door to the class' and Tamae's surprise. Reine on the other hand just cleaned her glasses as if expecting it.

"Ms. Okamine, I'm here to sign up as a chaperone for the school trip to Okinawa!" Rinne exclaimed happily, holding up an application.

"Hey, that's the girl who came to our class a while back!" One of the boys in class said. "Chaperone's are adults, no school kids! Don't weasel your way into the trip."

Rinne tilts her head.

"What do you mean? I'm am an adult." Rinne replied.

"That's a load of bull!" The same boy shouted, making Rinne sweat drop and soon groan once she realized he was the one boy that Shido told her from about the other day.

'Of course, that's the asshole who hurt Natsumi. If only there had been video proof to get him and the others expelled.' Rinne thought, hearing him yell more. 'Someone make him shut up, I may find humans fascinating, but the small minority who are like him? They're nearly as much of monsters as Westcott!'

Tamae panicked a bit, and before she could try calming things down.

"Wait, I know what this is... you're another girl who's gotten under Takamiya's thumb!" The boy declared, and soon Mana threw her shoe at his head. "OW! What was that-"

Mana suddenly got in his face, freaking him out.

"Don't be gross you jerk, that's my mom you're talking to!" Shido exclaimed, making the non-Ratatoskr allied members of the class go wide eyed.

"Your mom!?"

"Everyone, they're telling the truth. She may look as old as all of you, but that woman is indeed their mother." Tamae answered, hoping to quell the chaos. The boy in question fainted as Mana smirked. 'I... guess that's a sign that things have calmed down?'

Rinne hands the application to Tamae.

"Can I get this and the guests I'm allowed to bring approved now?" Rinne ask, making Tamae nod and take it as she sweat dropped over all the crazy she just went through.

-End Flashback-

Tohka gasps happily at that.

"So that means we get all get to go to Okinawa too!?" Tohka exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

"That's right, so I'd start packing right-" Rinne began, soon noticing Tohka had already ran into her room and left a dust trail. "...now. Wow, she's good!"

Natsumi giggles at that.

"Well that's Tohka for you, definitely the Energy Spirit." Natsumi replied.

Meanwhile at the Ratatoskr base, Reine was suddenly speaking to Elliot about something.

"About the Cross Travel group that's working with the school trip?" Reine replied, after hearing Elliot's question about it. "Yeah, the school told me about it. Originally, they were going to change it from Okinawa until sudden events forced the original plan. What about it?"

"I've checked the files and that changed location was going to be Arubi Island, which had a strong DEM base that Mana and the AST all destroyed. I think it's clear who this agency is a subsidiary of." Elliot replied, making Reine bite her nails slightly. "The fact that agency is still supporting the trip means they've got something planned."

Maria soon manifests her hologram by the two.

"I even looked around the satellite debris for any surviving data. Seems that they were dropped by some DEM board of directors to off Westcott... that means now he's likely in full command. Imagine what he might try now?" Maria added.

"No choice, we'll have the Fraxinus fly around Okinawa to be safe, and just in case... Maria? We have that new channel open, right? If might not work as well, but we may need it to have any contact should things go south." Reine reasoned, making Maria nod. "Thank you."

Maria soon vanished, and Reine looked forward.

"It seems the DEM has fully come guns blazing, this is the point where we'll now likely be faced on more equal grounds." Reine breathed to herself, taking a huge gulp of her usual coffee. "I do wonder though... is it really us they're after, or something else?"

A few days later, a plane was flying from Tokyo prefecture towards a beach area of Okinawa prefecture, everyone was flying inside the plan with Origami, Shido with Rio sitting on his lap, and Tohka sitting in row from the isle to window seat respectively.

"This is amazing!" Tohka exclaimed, smiling as she looked out the window.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that this is your first plane ride. Just make sure you mention if you get airsick." Shido smiled, soon looking at Rio who had shifted her Astral Dress into a white and blue dress. "Are you excited Rio?"

Rio nods.

"Rio's happy to spend time with big brother." Rio smiled, and one of the female students who was friends sees this before turning to her.

"I didn't know you two had a younger sister, wish I had one." The female student said.

"Yeah, Rio's so adorable." Mana replied, making the student confused. "Though sometimes her silliness is a handful"

The two girls giggle before suddenly notice a flash as their picture was taken, they turned to see a young attractive female with amber eyes, and short, golden-brown hair arranged in a bob cut which had her stoic expression clear on view, but she was still cracking a small smile. She was wearing a staff uniform for Cross Travel, a subsidiary under DEM industries.

"Pardon the candid camera, but I had to capture such a priceless moment." She stated, soon walking off. Soon making Rinne turn at her daughter.

"Mana, who was that?" Rinne asked.

"That's the photographer that the travel agency sent along with us, I think you were trying to get food from the snack machine when Tamae introduced us to her." Mana answered. "I think her name was... Chinami Mikazuchi?"

Once far enough, Chinami took out a slip of paper showing the portraits of Shido, mana, and all 9 of the present Spirits on the plane as she gave a dark look.

'The Spirits, all of them. Soon they'll be dust in the wind-' Chinami thought, soon getting the attention of a particular trio as they stared at her camera. "Huh? Why are you all-"

"Man, that camera's making me PB & Jelly!" Ai said, staring at it.

"I think that model's top of the line, probably costs thousands! Which one is it?" Mai asked, making Mii adjust her glasses which shined.

"Why it's a-" Mii began, soon causing Chinami to sweat as she was crowded by them. All of them spouting out things about her camera until a certain announcement saved her.

"[Attention ladies and gentlemen, please put your seats and tray tables in the upright and locked positions and prepare for landing.]" A staff member said over the speaker, making Tohka look as she saw Okinawa.

"Wow!" Tohka gasped.

Soon everyone left the airport and Rinne waved a flag as she helped Reine and Tamae keep the class' group together. Tohka was staring towards the beaches and the ocean with Shido by her side, the former's eyes sparkling.

"I finally get to see the Ocean up close!" Tohka cheered, making Shido circle it on his list of things Tohka had yet to see. Suddenly, he noticed Tohka looking at the sky with a serious look. "Shido, something doesn't feel right... it's odd, but I get this feeling we're being watched."

"Really? You're sure it's not the camera lady?" Shido asked, Chinami snapping some camera shots.

"No, it's not her... it doesn't feel like one person." Tohka answered, making Shido curious to what was watching them. Neither of them were aware that overhead in the sky, the repaired and upgraded Arbitel was flying around without anyone, including the Fraxinus crew which was doing the same, noticing it.

"Incoming from Adeptus 3, they've reached Okinawa." Marina replied, her hologram projecting from the main camera. "Targets confirmed at Naha Airport, Camera Number 6 at North district."

The sights of everyone on their target list came into view. James noticed Rinne, the only one who didn't fully match her image.

"Hmm... that's strange, the older pink haired one doesn't look like [Ruler], are you sure that's her?" James asked the black haired AI, causing Marina to turn to him.

"Don't let that appearance fool you, her wavelength matches Ruler's, even if it's been heavily dampened and weakened. There's no doubts to my readings that is definitely the First Spirit we're seeing." Marina replied, showing said wavelengths and slowing the former to prove it. "Adeptus 3, do you read?"

Chinami tapped her headset.

"Adeptus 3 here, I'll report again later. For now, everyone's about to be on the move." Chinami replied, soon hanging up.

Marina sighed, and everyone resumed their watch... only for the Arbitel to pick up something.

"Hmm? What's this?" Marina wondered, soon getting a reading. However soon it was... two, and yet also one. "Wait, what is this? That can't be right... wait, this is-"

What she would say next wasn't heard as the sight of Rinne blowing her chaperone whistle on the surface was seen.

"OK everyone, we got the word our luggage has arrived so we'll be stopping at the record's office first!" Rinne shouted, making all of Class 4 groan.

"Seriously?" Ai commented.

"That's so stupid lame!" Mai added.

"Well... better we get the work done now than later so we only have room for fun." Mii finished.

"Yeah, then I can spend time with my girl." Hiroto agreed, holding up his phone with his current dating sim girlfriend. "Am I right sexy beast?"

The four SSS wizards all sweat drop at that.

"No one wants to see you make out with your phone, put it away." Saya bluntly stated.

Rinne blows her chaperone whistle three times in a row, and Shido notices.

"We'll figure out who might be watching later, for now let's just follow everyone." Shido replied, but soon notices Tohka not moving as she gave a worried look. "Tohka?"

"...Something's coming, and I think what I felt was watching us!" Tohka said.

Suddenly Rinne noticed some storm clouds forming, but way too fast to be normal. Strong wings begin to blow to everyone's surprise. From nearby the group, a certain silver haired Spirit adjusted her spectacles at the sight before her.

[Master, it seems they've arrived here as well.]

"So they have, interesting. I wonder how things will develop for Shido this time?" Nia wondered, smirking slightly.

"What is this?" Rinne asked.

"This is bad, these winds can only be one thing... a hurricane." Reine replied, making the students panic. "Everyone stay calm, get inside the nearest building ASAP before the wind gets too intense."

As everyone did, Tohka grabbed Shido as they tried to follow.

"Something's wrong here! This wind is coming too sudden, a hurricane can't form this fast!" Shido shouted, and right then the wind became too strong for Shido and Tohka to move. "Quick, get down!"

Rinne notices this, and motions to the other Spirits.

"Reine, get the others inside! I'm going after them!" Rinne replied, Reine nods and no one noticed the other Spirits breaking off to go aid them. Soon all of them helping Shido and Tohka. "Rio, we need a barrier!"

"Right mama!" Rio said, forming one around the group as they begin pushing against the wind. "Mama, what are those things-"

Rio didn't get to finish as two trash cans, and somehow a refrigerator hit her shield, the third one's force causing her to be disoriented as her barrier dispelled and she fainted.

"Aw crap, we're dead now!" Natsumi commented, soon noticing something orange flash. "Wait, is that orange lightning?"

Everyone looked and saw it, however soon the orange streaks began colliding with one another. That made it clear that what they were seeing wasn't lightning.

"That's not lightning, it's... hey wait a second!" Tohka gasped, suddenly seeing there were two eyes of the hurricane, as if two of the said storms had been overlapping. "Mana, didn't we once see a news report about two hurricanes forming and disappearing in barely any time at all back before Origami's powers were sealed?"

"Yeah, I think you're right... wait, that's when we saw the report that would be about Yoshino! Then does that mean-" Mana paled, realizing what those orange lights must be. "Oh come on, during our school trip!?"

Soon the two orange bolts of lightning flew to the ground, and everyone ducked as they crashed near their current location. When the dust settled, everyone minus the still unconscious Rio saw a sight that shocked them all.

On the right, a girl with orange hair and purple eyes that had the body of a model, and had a lean figure, yet also seemed characteristically delicate body to the point she looked like she'd break if hugged too tightly. Her hair was in a braid that hung over her left shoulder with locks of hair curled like cyclones, and she had a determined expression.

Her Astral Dress was... well it was honestly hard to describe it, it was pink-red with some races of purple and the lower half of it possessed a half skirt around her waist which drops to the knees and opens around her thighs. It almost seemed like a super hero outfit designed for fanservice, but was still considerate enough to be practical.

On the left, a second orange haired, purple eyed girl stood with an identical body, though it wasn't as lean, but it was still shapely. Her hair was the exact same but was combed and neat rather than her twin's messy hair, but her braid stayed behind her head. She also had a much vaguer expression and her eyes seemed half closed.

To keep the similarities between them going, she had the same Astral Dress as her counterpart with the only different being it was blue with some traces of light blue and cyan and parts of the cloth and design slightly altered. Also, rather than a skirt, she had a small cape hung across her arms, nearly touching her shoulders.

"Spirits... and two of them?" Kurumi breathed.

"Not just any Spirits either, the orange spirit mana... they're both using the Raphael Crystal's power. This doesn't make sense though..." Rinne stated, because she was seeing something impossible. "...How can a pair of twins both be using its powers?"

Maria gasped at the sight she got on the video feed compared to the readings they had no the Fraxinus. Everyone showed equal surprise to what they saw.

"That's definitely [Berserk] we're picking up, but... this can't be possible!" Nakatsugawa commented.

"There's two spirits sharing the same powers, this is the first time I've ever seen this." Kannazuki added, trying to think of something. "Anyone have some possible explanation?"

Everyone just stared at the screen, and Kannazuki sighed.

"Guess we'll have to-" Maria began, soon seeing the feed cut off. "Ah damn it, we're being jammed now! Looks like Commander Reine was right to ask me to set that other channel. Hope this storm clears up soon so it gets through."

Everyone stares at the twin Spirits of wind that had appeared before them, all of them unaware that the hurricanes had vanished. The twin wearing pink chuckled like a stereotypical anime character, even holding a hand to her head in such a manner.

"Not too bad Yuzuru, although I expected as much from my other half. Too bad your crusade will all be in vain!" The pink twin replied with vigor.

"Rebut. Much has been learned from our 99 battles, the advantage is clearly mine Kaguya." The blue twin, now known as Yuzuru, countered in a calm manner.

"Hmph! Such said prattle, we both know the only one of us that's been deemed worthy of the true Yamai's successor is moi!" Kaguya replied, holding her hands up near her face for emphasis.

"Negative. I am the one who will persevere, the name Yamai does not fit one as lowly as you." Yuzuru countered.

While their talk continued on, everyone's heads turned back and forth at their talk.

"Uh... should we interrupt or something?" Mana asked.

"No, let them talk for now. Better get an idea what's going on so we know how to handle them and stop another hurricane from forming. We won't be able to fly if they cause another to stop them." Rinne answered, gulping as she shook a bit. "That and the fact there's two of them scares me."

Kaguya smirks at Yuzuru's claims.

"Your words are hollow, my Devil sight has already seen the end! A vision where your proud of mighty form breaks to pieces as you get stabbed and begin dying!" Kaguya declared, making Yoshino flinch slightly.

"Doubtful. Your Devil sight has never been accurate before, nor is it real." Yuzuru bluntly stated, making Kaguya sweat a bit. "Confirmation. Your face is proof enough."

Kaguya growled.

"Shut up! It is so real and has so worked before, don't you dare make fun of me!" Kaguya roared, soon getting into a fighting stance. "Perhaps I should prove it by skewering you with my Sturn Lanza!

Yuzuru slightly smiled.

"Request. Provide the combat capabilities of this Sturn Lanza technique." Yuzuru asked, making Kaguya smirk.

"Hah! The very font of language dries up trying to explain the scope of its awesome power. Tangible, yet intangible! Visible, yet unseen! It only sates its thrust by stabbing and piercing its enemies!" Kaguya declared, and Kurumi blinks.

"...Oh my god, I think she's a Chuunibyou!" Kurumi gasped, soon sweating a bit. "And I can't believe I actually said something that."

Yuzuru simply stares at Kaguya.

"Summary. It is completely devoid of meaning, much like your talk." Yuzuru stated.

"IT DOES HAVE MEANING! Perhaps you can't comprehend its immense power because you're just too stupid to understand its unearthly strength!" Kaguya screamed angrily, some spit flying out of her mouth.

"Derisive. Your bluff is laughing, so I shall laugh at it." Yuzuru replied, soon moving to make a laugh like expression. "Ha."

Kaguya's spirit power soon spikes out.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Kaguya shouted, her power flaring more. "To punish you for such insolence, I'll rip that smirk off your face right now! El Re'em!"

A red lance forms in Kaguya's hands, and a sudden gust of wind blows out around her.

'Wait, not Raphael?" Rinne thought, confused why she didn't hear the Angel's name as she and the others shielded themselves from the wind striking their bodies.

"Annoyance. You react with violence, then I have no choice but to counter." Yuzuru claimed, soon holding out her hand. "Response. El Na'ash!"

Soon a chain with a pendulum like chain formed in her hands, confusing Rinne more.

"We're gonna get caught in the middle! We gotta leave now!" Shido declared, and everyone prepared to do that... except for Tohka.

"Sink into darkness!" Kaguya shouted, rushing forward.

"Retort. Hah." Yuzuru replied, zooming ahead.

"STOP!" Tohka shouted, surprising everyone... and making the twins stop as they turned at her.

"...Wait, is that a human?" Kaguya asked.

"Wondrous. I cannot express my surprise." Yuzuru responded, making Tohka blink.

'Maybe it's just the situation, but apparently they can't tell I'm a Spirit. That might be a good thing for now.' Tohka thought, soon waving at them nervously. "Uh... hi there, I'm Tohka. Nice to meet you?"

She sweats as they stare at her.

"Why have you brought our sacred fuel to a standstill human, and what are your intentions for us? Depending on your answer, we'll... uh..." Kaguya began, sweating before looking at her twin and whispering. "...Yuzuru, what do we do again?"

"Negative. I don't believe we've ever been in this situation." Yuzuru whispered back, making Kaguya groan in response.

"Dang it! At this rate, we won't resolve anything." Kaguya noted, and then noticed Shido before smirking. "Unless..."

Shido gulped as she realized her stare was aimed at him.

"Yuzuru, I think I found the way we can finally settle things." Kaguya smirked.

"Curiosity. What do you have in mind?" Yuzuru asked.

After some time, the class got worried when the others never came back, so Reine went to the door to see if the storm had ended and saw it had.

"The storm's over, it's safe to come out." Reine answered, she walked outside and everyone soon followed her. "The others didn't come back, so we need to try and search for them, hopefully they-"

"Hey look, there they are." Katie stated, pointing at them. Everyone turned to see them. "Hey, wait a second... who are they?"

Everyone saw the group with the Yamai twins hanging their arms around Shido's, both now in Raizen High uniforms of the sweater variation as Shido noticed the stairs. A certain group of boys all gave angry glares.

"Hey, we're back... and found some other students." Shido replied, sweating a bit. "...Please help them off me."

"There's no denying it, I'm obvious more lively and charming than my sister." Kaguya said, hugging her breasts into Shido's left arm and making him blush.

"Disagreement. I'm more romantically mature, don't fall for her deceptions." Yuzuru replied, doing the same to Shido's right arm. Chinami looks at the situation and raises an eyebrow.

"I don't want to know." Chinami sighed.

Tamae looked confused until Rinne walked up to her and cleared her throat.

"It seems these two are transfer students, according to them, it seems they somehow snuck onto the plane because they had transferred too late to be allowed on the trip. I doubt the school noticed they came with us. At least, provided they're telling the truth." Rinne stated, winking to tell Tamae they were Spirits.

"Oh, I see. This might be sudden but do you think you could focus on them for me?" Tamae asked, and Rinne nods. "Thank you."

Soon after dealing with the Records Office and getting to the residence they rented for the trip, the wing lent to everyone allied with Ratatoskr had said group stare at Shido's situation as the Yamai twins kept up their charming attempts.

"So Shido, all you have to do is make a simple little choice." Kaguya replied, rubbing her finger across Shido's chest. "Say 'Kaguya, you drive me wild! Let me give myself to you. body and soul forever!', come on now."

"Wrong. Kaguya is a poor choice, she is quite needy and childish. I would strongly recommend me." Yuzuru countered.

Artemisia looked at Shido's expression, and kneeled a bit closer to whisper to him.

"Feeling a little smothered?" Artemisia asked, sweat dropping a bit. Shido nodded at that. "Rinne was right, I think Natsumi hinted your harem's gonna get crazier from here."

Shido hung his head down, remembering how they got to this point.

"Putting our feminine wiles to the test!" Kaguya exclaimed, causing all of Shido's harem to go white eyed in surprise. "Truly the true heir of the Storm Spirit Yamai would possess the charm and grace to make creation itself quake in jealousy!"

"Acknowledged. I believe I follow your logic, it is an attribute we have not put into a competition. Where is our standing in it again?" Yuzuru inquired.

"In our 99 trials, we've both siphoned 25 victories, yet our wills were equal the other 49 times. The list to events to compete in has already dried up deeper than the vastness of the Grand Canyon. So one last trial, the one who makes this man fall in love with her is the winner!" Kaguya challenged.

Mana's jaw dropped.

'The Spirits want to fall in love with him from the start this time?' Mana thought, holding her head. '...I need an aspirin.'

"Oh boy..." Rinne sweat dropped, soon sighing as she walked up to her son. "We'll figure it out once we talk to them, but just agree with it and avoid the trouble of another storm."

"Not like I have a choice." Shido groaned, soon shaking his head. "Alright, if you wanna make me your tie breaker then I'll do it. Just do it on human terms, will you?"

Kaguya smirked.

"And the game has begun, of course my victory is certain!" Kaguya said confidently.

"Disbelief. I am the cutest, there is no chance you could ever beat me. TO be frank your looks are average at best." Yuzuru countered, making Kaguya form a vein on her head.

"What do you mean by that!?" Kaguya yelled, only to get a loud throat clear from Shido. "...It doesn't matter, this is our decisive battle. Now tell us human boy, how should we blend in when we grace the populace with our presence?"

Shido hung his head down a bit.

As Shido kept hanging his head down, Tohka suddenly realized something.

"Uh... we probably should have asked this earlier, but why are you guys fighting for the 100th time?" Tohka asked, making the Yamai twins stop and blink.

"Did we forget to mention that?" Kaguya replied, making everyone face fault. "Oops."

"Apology. As the arbitrator, you have the right to know the details behind our long standing competition." Yuzuru stated, getting everyone's attention. "Explanation. As you've likely noticed, we are twin Spirits, but this is because Kaguya and I were once a single spirit."

Everyone gasped at that.

"A single spirit... wait, so Raphael had an irregularity too? Hey Rio, does that ring a bell?" Rinne asked, making the young Spirit think.

"Rio definitely remembers giving only one girl the Raphael Crystal, but Rio saw two right after she took it." Rio answered, and then nodded. "Rio finds it familiar."

Rinne blinks.

"Oh good, that suddenly explains everything odd I was thinking on how there were two of them." Rinne sighed in relief, sitting on a chair. "OK, continue either one of you."

"The name of the Spirit was Yamai, hence our last name. However, we'll eventually be a single Spirit again at some point, for their can only be one." Kaguya answered, sighing a bit before continuing.

"However, our personalities can't co-exist, and the original Yamai's personality is beyond recovery. So either Kaguya or I will have to replace it. Hence our many duels, it's how we're picking who should get that right. We've had competitions like a fist fight, foot race, kondama, eating contest, hair washing, hair cutting, instrument playing..."

Everyone sweat dropped before Shido cleared her throat.

"I think we get the point, and you really are running out considering the last few weren't as dramatic." Tohka chuckled oddly, but then blinks. "Wait, so what happens to the personality that loses?"

"It will die." Both aid together, making everyone gasp.

'So only one can survive? Damn, this is a brutal ultimatum for Shido... can he make that choice?' Rinne thought, then stood up near the two. "And you're sure there's no way you could both live?"

Both shook their heads.

"Crap..." Rinne groaned, falling back in her seat. "This is nearly as bad as me nearly dying."

"Wait a second... I knew your voice was familiar! You're that girl we heard. So you didn't actually die?" Kaguya gasped, making Rinne look at her oddly. "What?"

"...I don't want to know how you heard that." Rinne stated, and suddenly Natsumi whistles as she faces the wall. "Wait, no... don't tell me! Oh my god, is this what TV refers to as public humiliation?"

Reine sweat dropped before she got an alert from Maria and answered it.

"Hello?" Reine answered.

"Oh thank goodness the channel works, we've got a problem. The DEM is definitely here and jamming all other communications, so aside from normal conversation we can't help you." Maria replied, making Reine sigh. "Oh, and we-"

"If it's about the Berserk twins, we've already met them. In fact, they're in the same room as us." Reine answered, making Maria blink. "Just keep an eye out, we'll try to take care of things on our end."

Reine soon put the channel on silent.

"Well, looks like we'll unfortunately have to wing things here. I guess the question is which Yamai's the one you'll choose in the end."

"...Yay." Shido replied in an exhausted manner, he didn't like where things were going already.

"OK then! Kaguya, Yuzuru, I'd like you to follow me. My son's exhausted from the plane ride and needs his rest, I'll tell you the right way to do this so you don't give him a heart attack." Rinne replied, grabbing the two and dragging them out of the room. "You're welcome in advance!"

Shido sighs in relief.

"Thank you mom, I needed that." Shido sighed, soon falling on his side. Tohka pulls his head up and rests it on her lap.

Shido soon began heading to the bath houses that had been lent to the students, once he arrived however... he screamed in surprise as the Yamai twins were present alongside his mom who was fixing up a green sign area that had the kanji for 'specially reserved' on it.

"Oh! Hey girls, uh..." Shido stated, soon looking at Rinne and whispering. "...That green door is co-ed, isn't it?"

Rinne chuckles nervously and nods, making Shido groan.

"Shido, you have permission from the incarnate of Kama Sutra to cleanse the impurities of your mortal body with me!" Kaguya smirked.

"Confirmation. Please feel free to enter the bath." Yuzuru replied.

"Oh boy... now I'm basically in a living soap opera." Shido replied, hanging his head as he entered the green sign door. The Yamai twins followed him while Rinne gave a nervous chuckle again.

"Sorry!" Rinne called out, soon looking away worriedly before following them. "If it weren't for the fact Spirits are involved, I'd be dead last for the Mother of the Year award."

Soon in the bath, Rinne stares as the Yamai twins clung to his arms again.

"Seriously, is this going to be a thing with you two and me!?" Shido groaned.

"Duh, how else will you go crazy for my pixie like charms?" Kaguya asked rhetorically, making Yuzuru stare at her.

"Scornful. Feminine charms you say? You should have bought some here, because you didn't bring any with you sister." Yuzuru bluntly stated, making Rinne silently gasp as she gave a 'oh no you didn't!' face to that. Kaguya had a vein form on her head.

"I'll make you pay for that later you cow!" Kaguya replied, and Yuzuru soon had the vein form.

"Fury. Bring it on." Yuzuru stated.

Shido began to sweat, worried he had been forced into dangerous territory. Soon the Yamai twins' eyes gleam and he shook.

"Better prepare yourself stud, I'll make you realize you can't ever be satisfied by anyone but me." Kaguya said in a flirty manner, her breasts hugging against Shido's left arm.

"Prideful. Just think, there's only this flimsy white tell separating our flesh." Yuzuru replied, also in a flirty manner. Rinne say his face go really red as Yuzuru did the same to Shido's right arm.

'Yikes, my son's sandwiched between two girls with 90cm bust lines... wait, what's that look of his?' Rinne thought before gasping, pointing at him. "Shido, don't you dare let your-"

"Mom, if you finish that sentence then I'm not making your favorite breakfast ever again!" Shido exclaimed, making Rinne gulp as she shuffled back toward the bath edge. "Seriously you two, can you try something that's not physical contact? Please!"

The two pout and let go.

"Alright, prepare to have my heavenly winds blow your chances away before they even begin! Victory is mine Yuzuru!" Kaguya said, soon standing up and giving what she thought was a foxy pose. Everyone stares at her. "...What?"

"Eh... I give that a 3 out of 10?" Rinne admitted, making Kaguya turn white before Yuzuru giggled and Shido just looked confused. "Why'd you have to be so specific!? Couldn't you have just said it could have been better?"

Yuzuru chuckles again.

"Mockery. Just as expected, your feminine charms leave something to be desired." Yuzuru smirked, and Kaguya growled at that.

"What did you just say? Says the boring billboard, as if you could channel the passion of Aphrodite! Actually, prove yourself before you give the foggiest notion to me!" Kaguya countered, making Yuzuru glare.

"...Falsehood. My best would still be better than your worst, and I will prove it now." Yuzuru declared, soon standing up. "Hi handsome."

Yuzuru blows a kiss, making a heart fly past Shido.

"Uh, Yuzuru... since you missed him and didn't really put any emotion in that, I'm gonna have to give that a 1 out of 10." Rinne replied, making Yuzuru freeze up as Kaguya went hysterical with laughter.

"And to think I was actually worried, you sure fooled me!" Kaguya mocked, making Yuzuru form a vein on her head.

"Livid. I am not interested in your opinion." Yuzuru exclaimed.

The twins glared at each other, sparks flying between them.

"Your childish figure isn't as effective as my curves." Yuzuru countered.

"Nonsense, we're identical twins, you and I have the same curves." Kaguya countered, making Rinne nod.

"Counter. Even if the measurements are the same, they feel completely different. My skin is softer than yours." Yuzuru threw back, making Kaguya smirk.

"So what? You think I care how smooth my skin is?" Kaguya said, soon posing again. "You underestimate the attractiveness of a fit body."

Yuzuru trickled a drop of sweat at that, but didn't stand down.

"Haughty. Change the words all you want, but that doesn't change the said truth that your so called slender body is second to mine." Yuzuru replied.

"Heh! Oh, so you think I'm second to you just because I lack your healthy pudginess?" Kaguya countered, making Rinne gasp at that claim as Yuzuru trembled a bit with anger. "How'd you like that you cow!?"

Shido quickly inches closer to Rinne as the twins begin arguing.

"Shido thinks I'm cuter than some fatty like you any day of the week! No if, ands, or buts!" Kaguya declared.

"Wrong. Your chicken bones don't appeal to men, without your breasts, you'd be mistaken as a boy." Yuzuru countered.

"I'm thin from muscles, not chicken bones! Don't ever call me chicken bones!" Kaguya yelled.

"Rage. Don't call me a fatty." Yuzuru stated angrily.

"You smell worse than I do!" Kaguya shouted.

"Fury. You have more split ends then me, messy hair isn't cute." Yuzuru glared.

Shido and Rinne blink before blinking at each other and then blinking back.

"Uh... how long do you think it'll take before they notice they're arguing and not trying to charm me anymore?" Shido asked, sweating at the sight. Rinne shrugged and just kept watching.

"Puffity fatty fat puffball!" Kaguya shouted.

"Snark. Dirty grease monkey." Yuzuru retorted.

Soon Tohka opened the curtain and jumped in.

"Cannonball!" Tohka shouted, making everyone turn as they saw her come in, only to be suddenly splashed by the bath water. She surfaced and shook some exceed water off and her eyes still closed. "Ah, I love being first in the bath."

Suddenly she opens her eyes, and suddenly sees herself staring right at Shido, the Yamai twins and Rinne both edge away as the two suddenly registered that Tohka's towel was floating to the side and Shido was seeing Tohka's breasts with only her hair covering them, at that moment... both of them screamed loudly.

"Huh?" Kotori blinked, hearing Tohka's scream from in the changing room. "What was that all about?"

Tohka quickly covers herself with the towel and sputters gibberish while blushing red.

"Tohka, why are you in here? Didn't you see the names listed on the reservation sign!?" Rinne panicked, causing Tohka to look at her.

"I did! My name was on it, but Shido's wasn't!" Tohka answered, making Rinne blink surprised.

"What? And how did that happen!?" Rinne asked.

Suddenly in the changing room, Natsumi looks towards the door to the bath and snickers a bit. A metaphysical arrow saying 'guilty' pointing at her. Meanwhile Shido freaks out, and before he could get away, all the other girls come in. With the exception of Rio who didn't get it...

"Three... two... one..." Rinne gulped as she covered her ears.

Screaming was heard throughout most of the island, catching the attention of Reine who turned to it.

"...I don't even wanna know." Reine sighed, realizing who caused said screaming.

Soon by the time of night, Chinami looked around before tapping her headset.

"This is the Arbitel Neo, status update?" Ellen requested, causing Chinami to take a jack from the camera and link up the pictures from the headset.

"Adeptus 3 speaking, the unexpected readings you mentioned have been confirmed." Chinami answered, showing a pic of the Yamai twins. "For reasons unknown, the current [Berserk] has become two beings sharing their powers. Based on my readings, this has actually doubled the power their Sephira Crystal rather than splitting it between them."

Ellen paused for a moment before resuming.

"Understood, so the readings weren't wrong. You understand the mission, right?" Ellen asked.

"I do, capture the Half-Spirit known as the boy Shido Takamiya and only kill the Spirits if they interfere." Chinami confirmed, soon blinking a bit as Ellen sent her a new detail. "Wait, there's an exception for Berserk?"

Ellen smirked.

"They're still the odd ones out, as long as he doesn't get to them first..." Ellen answered.

"I see, then ready the Einherjar units. Get them standing by and ready to move." Chinami stated, soon closing the connection and smirking darkly.

Well that's one way to stir up a storm, in multiple forms no less! *chuckles* And yes, I did slightly change up Kaguya's hair... and bumped her bust line to her twin's size (once again, remember what Rinne said in Natsumi's arc), to pull off that opposite twin things. Don't get me wrong, I love Kaguya's canon design, but if you can't dare to be different in a fanfic, then it's hard to succeed in making twists.

Also for their Astral Dresses? They still have their canon ones, they'll just be used for their Inverse Forms since I have no idea how to make those any more revealing. I mean, how do you work with that? The two of them were dominatrix based outfits! 0_0 *clears throat* So to work around that problem, I just went backwards, and yes, I do think their outfits kinda look a bit like a superhero outfit.

In case no one figured it out what I meant about the Adeptus 3 being canon and non-canon, I'm gonna explain it now since I don't want anyone confused. The bob cut hairstyle, the name that has both "-ami" & "-chi" at the end, and the intensity to wanna harm a Spirit? Chinami's design is basically an older version of old timeline Origami. So... surprise!
