Chapter 18: The Azure Twins

  cw for cursing 

Sausage caught Scott as he slid down the wall, eyes fluttering closed, and laid him down slowly on the floor. Gem knelt quickly by him, checking for his pulse and things, while Sausage turned to regard the newcomers.

    The two new people looked to be about 14-15 years old, and stood at around 5'2. They both had short blue hair, although one was light blue and cut in a shaggy hairstyle that fell into their eyes, while the other had it dyed a deeper blue that was also slightly purple, and it was half shaved on one side and reached until the chin in spikes on the other. They each had one silver and one electric blue eye that had a black ring around the iris. The one with the shaggy teal hair had pointed ears with multiple silver and black piercings, as well as a black septum hoop ring. Their eyes were lined with black eyeliner, and they were dressed in very odd clothing.

    They were dressed in ripped blue pants made of some odd fabric, the holes stitched over with black netting. A pair of short black laced boots were on their feet, and they wore a black shirt that said, 'I am fluent in Sarcasm' tucked into their waistline. A belt tied held the pant up, and a choker with a sapphire in it completed the look.

    The other person, on the the other hand, was dressed in a black pant of the same material, but unripped, and a silver long sleeve covered by a sleeveless vest that had half a million buckles, buttons, and zippers that Sausage was sure did absolutely nothing. They wore the same boots as the other person, and their ears were pierced as well, but with only a silver hoop and a flower with a sapphire center below. A silver septum ring pierced their nose, and their belt had a sheathed dagger attached to it.

    The second person started forward, but stopped when Sausage moved into their way. "I'm going to help him," they said. "I know healing magic."

    "Yeah, let Indigo through. If it's anyone you should be worried about, it's me. By Erin, I'll fuck you all up." The other person said, inspecting their fingernails, which were painted with black polish. 

    The blue kids had  saved the three of them from the demon child, so Sausage reluctantly let the person called Indigo pass, watching as they crouched by Scott and let their odd white magic flow over him. 

    A tendril also reached over to wrap around Gem's arm, and she jerked back before realizing that it was also healing her. Sausage watched in fascination as the stab wound on Gem's arm closed up and disappeared as if it had never been there. Moments later, Scott woke up, and the three of them stood together against the wall with the other two people facing them.

    "Like I said before I passed out," Scott said. "Who the hell are you two?"

    The one with teal hair wrinkled their nose, and went to reply, but the other beat them to it first.

    "I'm Indigo, I use he/him pronouns, and this is my twin AJ, he uses he/him pronouns. What about you guys?"

     AJ said, "Use the wrong pronouns and I will fuck you up so badly you'll see sound and hear colors."

    Deciding to ignore that rather terrifying threat, Sausage said, "I'm Sausage, he/him." Scott and Gem both introduced themselves, and Gem said, "While I'm grateful you guys saved us and all, I'd really like to know what is going on right now?"

    AJ snorted. "What going on right now is that you fuckers are in the entirely wrong dimension based off of your energy signatures, and I get the feeling that little bastard is to blame."

    Indigo rolled his eyes, and said, "What AJ means to say is that we were passing by and we felt something off, so we came to investigate, and we found you guys."

    "What even are you? Where are we? How do we get home?" Scott asked, looking around at the void they were in.

    "What fantastic questions, everybody! We've got a genius on our hands, it seems! How fucking spectacular." AJ said sarcastically. Indigo smacked him on the back of his head, and he yelped as he immediately tried to hit him back. It dissolved into a slap fight as the three emperors watched in absolute confusion.

    The fight somehow got even crazier as Indigo created a skillet out of his white magic and tried to brain his brother. He dodged, and created a skillet of his own, and they eagerly began something akin to sword-fighting, but with skillets.

    After like 2 minutes or so, AJ managed to land a hit on Indigo, and the skillets disappeared as he loudly celebrated his win.

    "Yeah, who's the baddest bitch now? I am, that's right! You fuckers can't compare to the level of badassery I'M at!" AJ said, pacing back and forth. Indigo sighed and pulled a golden disk that looked like a coin, but was also too large and flat to be one out of a pocket in the vest mess. He handed it to AJ, who slipped it into a pocket Sausage hadn't even noticed was there.

  Waving his hands dramatically, he said, "To answer your earlier question, oh Wise One-Indy, gimme a dramatic drumroll, we're too cool for boring shit- Introducingggggggg THE AZURE TWINS! That's us? Get it?? No?" 

    Scott looked at him with something akin to horror. "I've never done drugs in my life... how the hell am I hallucinating this?" He whispered.

    "Hey, we're not THAT crazy!" Indigo protested. "Maybe he is, but I'm not!" AJ scowled at his twin, and threw a ball of that magic energy at him, which he deflected back at him.

    "You're one to talk! You once put an iPad in a blender and said you were making apple juice!" AJ said accusingly. Indigo's face twisted with indignation, and he replied, "At least I didn't try to make spaghetti in a coffee machine!"

    "You tried to flirt with a lamppost!" AJ argued back. 

     "Yeah, well- you spent an hour yelling at a painting on a wall because you though it gave you the stink eye!" Indigo said. The argument looks like it was going to escalate into another fight, but then a tendril of white energy curled around his head, and Sausage could no longer hear what the teen was saying.

    AJ glared at his twin, and he tilted his head at him, seemingly communicating with him without words. After a minute or so of silent debate, Indigo pulled his magic back, and the air was promptly filled with multiple very colorful curses, some of which Sausage didn't even know the meaning of.

     "Language!" Sausage interrupted. AJ turned to look him dead in the eyes, and stalked forward, flipping open a knife out of nowhere. Pointing it at his throat, he said, "Oh, want me to watch my fucking language bitch? I could disintegrate your ungrateful ass-"

    "AJ, NO!" Indigo yelled, opening a portal under his feet and forcibly moving him back to his side, thankfully away from Sausage. He took several large steps back, away from the teen he was now absolutely sure belonged in a mental institution, and exchanged glances with Scott and Gem, who looked no less alarmed.

    "We look like teenagers, remember?" Indigo told him. "And plus, you really should curse less. Captain America will come for you." he added, a grin growing on his face.

    Who the hell is Captain America, and why would they go anywhere near that psycho?

    AJ scowled. "We're literally thousands of years old. If I wanna curse, then you can bet your fucking ass I'm going to curse."

    "Thousands of years old?" Gem asked, wariness immediately changing into curiosity. Scott added skeptically, "If you're thousands of years old, why do you like a 14 year old?"

    "Cause I'm gonna be cooler than you'll ever be in your pathetic lifetime so might as well make you feel good about yourself for a split second. Also, you gotta admit I'm hot as fu-" He quickly changed the word he was going to use as Indigo sent him a vicious glare, "Funfetti cake. Definitely funfetti cake."

    Sausage was beginning to wonder if he had been drugged as well.

    Rolling his eyes, Indigo muttered, "Oh my Erin..." he raised his voice, saying, "We're a species called celestials. We exist outside of your worlds as you know them, and it means we're much more powerful than you. We can also travel across dimensions, which is how we get around."

    "You bastards and bitches are in a completely different world than you're supposed to be in, and it's kind of our job to fix shit like that." AJ added, somehow turning the statement into an insult.

    Gem looked wildly curious, and she went to asked something, but Scott shot her a look and asked the twins, "Does that mean you can get us home?" 

    Indigo nodded, while AJ merely flipped them off, an odd silver rectangle appearing in his other hand. He began to tap it animatedly, and tinny upbeat music also started emanating from it.

    "We can, actually, that why we're here- AJ, put that phone away and focus, for goodness sake. I'm going to need your help to move everyone." Indigo said, snatching the thing called a phone from him.

    He scowled at Indigo, but put his hands out, summoning his magic. "Gather 'round, bitches," He announced. "We're going on a field trip!" 

    Indigo rolled his eyes but smiled at his twin, and also raised his hands, summoning his own energy as Sausage, Scott and Gem stepped closer to be included in the spell.

    The white and black magic swirled around them, hiding the void from view. The Azure twins, as they called themselves, had looks of absolute concentration on their faces, and Sausage didn't want to interrupt them in case it messed up the spell.

     Sausage seriously hoped they knew what they were doing, or else he, Scott, and Gem were toast.
