"Is that all you've got?"

Nicole met her nemesis, her scarlet blood had drizzled down her face, she began to crawl in the frosty snow. Serena steps on her head, Nicole screeches in pain as Serena sweetly smiled at her.

"Who—who the fuck are you?!" Nicole yelled at the top of her lungs.

Serena languidly looked at her, not even a single emotion was seen in her eyes. Naupo si Serena sa harap ni Nicole kasabay nito ang paghigit niya pataas sa buhok nito. Serena laughed sadistically while Nicole was screaming, screeching in pain.

"I'm Serena Undersea, moron." Serena smiled.

Tila hindi alintana kay Serena ang mga dugo ni Nicole na dumadaloy sa palapulsuhan niya. Serena's sweet smile was sending her shivers down to her spine, Nicole shut her eyes and tears began to escape from the corner of her eyes.

It was the first time for Nicole to regret mocking someone.

"You... You are not Serena Undersea... She's a princess who doesn't like to mess herself..." Nicole weakly said.

Serena let out a sigh. She threw Nicole as if she doesn't care at all. "I am Serena Undersea, this is the real me, I am a sinner."

Pilit na gumapang si Nicole at kumapit sa puno malapit sa kaniyang pwesto, "You... You're not supposed to be here... What the hell did you do to your body?" Nicole asked.

Tumikhim si Serena kasabay ang isang malamig na halakhak. She summoned her gun and pointed at Nicole's forehead. "Serena snapped out of it. Don't kill her." A woman's voice uttered inside Serena's head.

Serena pursed her lips. Saglit niyang pinagmasdan si Nicole, limang pearl ang nakabaon sa kaniyang katawan at marami na rin ang dugong nawala sa katawan nito. And without any words, Serena left Nicole alone.

"You are eager to end her life. Why?"

"Bloodlust," Serena whispered. She was scratching the back of her head, thinking a way to reduce her anger towards Nicole.

"Stop being a mad hatter, Undersea. I saved your ass. Poseidon and Hades also did but you owe me your life, so you need to listen to me."

Serena rolled her eyes, "Your wish is my command,"

She halted for a moment when she arrived in the front of Achaea, kalaunan ay pumasok siya sa loob ng Achaea at sa pagmasid niya sa paligid ay napansin niya ang maraming demigods na sugatin. She marched towards the Primus Section's tent and before she could go inside, she can hear the unpleasant weeping inside.

Sumilip siya upang makita kung ano ang mayroon sa loob, nanlaki ang mga mata niya habang nakatingin sa walang buhay na katawan ni Freya. She flinched when someone tapped her shoulder, "Serena," Aizelle called.

"Aizelle,"

Aizelle looked at the tent and then back to Serena, "She died peacefully," Aizelle meaningfully said. Hinawakan niya ang braso ni Serena at hinigit palayo sa tent. "But let Tito Glifford mourn for her first," dinala siya ni Aizelle sa kabilang tent kung nasaan nagpapahinga si Sue.

"What happened to Sue?" Serena asked.

"I thought you don't know us?" Aizelle laughed. Serena rolled her eyes. "Just kidding. But I heard from Kaki that Sue was tangled with vines and pierced with poisonous daggers."

"Vines? Daggers?" Serena repeated and Aizelle nodded.

Serena unknowingly bit her nails, once again she roamed her sight, her main objective wasn't present inside. She bid her goodbye to Aizelle before exiting the tent.

"Hala, ang cute niyo." Light teased.

Both Aizen and Night glared at him.

Aizen's knees weakened, the soul contracting process was way more exhausting than Blue's, half of his magical energy was drained. "Ang weak niya." Night said while pointing Aizen. Light laughed.

And just like Blue, a necklace appeared in Night's neck, the only difference was the pendant— it was a crimson flame pendant.

"Hug na kayo. Yieeee!" Light teased.

Night raised his middle finger and saluted it to Light. "Nauntog ka ba sa dreamland? Para kang tanga ngayon,"

"Ang daldal niyong dalawa," Aizen hissed.

They watch the moon as it shines to its brightest glow. "It is not turning into crystal blue..." Night mumbled.

"Hindi pa naman midnight," Aizen stated.

Light looked at the moon and analyzed it well, he pursed his lips and thought of a ridiculous idea, "Or maybe... Tonight isn't the crystal blue moon night,"

Aicelyn was caught off guard, she was suddenly pinned to the icy floor with vines wrapped around her body. Aicelyn bit her lower lip before freezing the vines, mabilis na tumayo si Aicelyn sa pagkakahiga at sa pagtunghay niya ay nasilayan niya ang taong inaasahan niyang makita.

"Celine," Aicelyn brooded.

Once again, Celine used her royal gift but before the vines could reach Aicelyn she set it on fire. Celine amusedly smiled. Aicelyn began to transform; half of her hair changed into blazing red and the other part remained into ash gray. Her left eye turned into crimson red.

Celine bit her lower lip as she summons her sword, "Come," she mocked.

Aicelyn charged at her. She summoned her Crystalline sword and slid to the icy floor, she plunged to Celine's leg but failed to land her attack when Celine lifts the ground.

Celine plummets and pointed her sword towards Aicelyn who failed to dodge the attack. Aicelyn received a cut on her cheek, but she immediately counters Celine's attack by kicking her in the stomach and lunged her sword to Celine's right foot.

Nang maramdaman ni Celine ang hapdi ay agad siyang tumalon paatras kasabay ang isang ngiwi. The cut wasn't deep but the tingling sensation was bugging her.

Celine made a huge mountain of ground but was immediately turned into a block of ice and was shattered into pieces. And because of the strong impact of the falling ice debris, they were suddenly covered with smoke and icy dust.

Bristol whistled not from afar. He was watching the two princesses, assessing if Celine needs his help.

Little did Aicelyn know, Celine was using the blinding opportunity to land her attack. Vines was crawling towards Aicelyn which she failed to notice until it was tangled to her ankle that made to face upside-down.

"You look good up there," Celine playfully said.

Aicelyn rolled her eyes. "You should be thankful, Lyn. I am just finishing what you started," Celine mumbled which Aicelyn to quizzically looked at her. A cunning smile appeared in Celine's face.

Bristol jumped out of the tree and walked near her, "Mag dadart ka rin?" he asked. Celine glared at him.

"Stupid," Celine said.

"I can lend you my daggers,"

Celine stayed silent. Pinanood lamang niya si Bristol habang nilalaro nito ang kaniyang mga dagger saka niya biglang naalala na muntik niya na malimutan na kasama niya ang lalaki. She made a deadpan look and watched her cousin.

"It was the two of you..."

Celine's eyes widened. She knows that menacing dark voice, she was stunned at her place with her hands trembling. On the other hand, Bristol was looking at Celine curiously because of her odd action.

"It was the two of you who tortured Sue to death..."

Celine shut her eyes. The trembling of her body wouldn't subside. Even without looking at the woman behind her, she knows that her voice was enough to threaten her.

"Look at me, Celine. Or are you still scared of me?"

Celine let out a big sigh and smiled sweetly when she looks behind her back. "Serena," she called.

A sardonic smile appeared in Serena's face, she looked up and saw Aicelyn's state who was watching them with curiosity.

"Hello, my dear friend,"

"Aren't you mistaken, Serena? We are no longer friends."

Serena acted hurt for a moment before her eyes became dull, "Then, I can freely kill you, right? Without hard feelings,"
