Ch13. The Grim Reaper, The Winged Dragon and The Soothsayer (Pt 2)

Without a second warning, the three charged at Scarlet and Violet.

With a flap of his large wings, Wakiya flew towards Violet at lightning speed, delivering a punch. Caught off guard, the demon tripped backwards. Wakiya then waved his hand, and rocks and stones beside him began to move, a purple glow surrounding them. The moving objects started to float, then flew towards Violet at full speed. After being hit by the rocks, the woman fell onto the ground. Seeing his chance, Wakiya flew towards Zac and helped him up.

"I'm only helping ya 'cos you're my prince. Don't take my help for granted," he muttered.

Zac smirked as he stood up and dusted thw dirt off his clothes, his golden aura still surrounding him. "Of course, of course. Thanks. Nice wings, by the way."

"I know," Wakiya scoffed and glanced at the angry Violet who had just stood up again. "Ready to finish that woman off?"

Zac glared at Violet, in which she glared back dangerously. "I'm more than ready for that," he said. "Let's do this."

Zac picked up his fallen daggers from the ground. The others, even Wakiya, watched in awe as the daggers glowed golden. Electricity ran through the metal blades and lightning sparked. Violet's eyes widened in fear as Zac pointed the dagger at her.

"F-Frostbite!" She called out shakily and raised her sceptre.

The Spin Emperor easily dismissed her attack with a swing of his dagger. He gripped the daggers in his hands and his aura glowed brighter.

"My turn," he said.

Zac threw one of his powered daggers at Violet. Its tip touched Violet's arm and zapped her. The dagger then flew back to Zac like a boomerang, in which Zac caught it. Violet clutched her injured arm and glared weakly at Zac.

Not giving up, she raised her sceptre at Zac again, and yelled out, "P...Poison chain!"

Strings of purple flew out of her sceptre towards Zac and Wakiya. The area beside them exploded fiercely and a violet gas surrounded the two. The gas lasted for more then ten seconds and Violet giggled with delight.

"Yes! No one could escape my poison chain!" She laughed. The gas cleared slowly and nothing came out. "Yes! I defeated them!"

But her laughter died down when the gas faded completely.

"No... impossible..."

Colour drained from the demon's face at the sight of Zac and Wakiya standing in the same spot, unharmed and unhurt.

"Woman, please, I can control power and force, and I can move and control any object with mas. Including your poison chains," Wakiya said in a bored tone. "I can't believe you thought that mere chains and gas and poison can stop Wyvern's power. Seriously, how dare you underestimate me?"

Zac rolled his eyes at Wakiya's behavior, and quickly turned to Violet.

"Thanks for the warm up," he said. "Now, let's get serious, shall we?" His daggers started glowing with electric sparks again. Wakiya laughed and swirled his finger in the air, and more stones, rocks and even dirt on the ground floated around him with a purple glow.

"Frostbite!" Violet yelled again in panic. The two boys swiftly dodged her attack. Wakiya flew on top of Violet and waved his hand. Before Violet knew it, the floating objects fell on her. The stones and rocks and dirt collided with Violet and the ground. A large gust of dirt and dust formed around Violet. Zac saw his chance and zapped Violet with all his might. The dust cleared, and Violet was no longer standing. She was laying on the ground, her eyes closed. Wakiya flew down beside the body, checking her pulse.

"She's not dead, but she will be unconscious for a while," he said. Zac let out a sigh of relief. No matter how much he hated Violet, he didn't want to become a murderer.

"YAAHHHHH!!" Someone shouted.

Zac and Wakiya turned to Rantaro and Daina, who were busily fighting Scarlet. Rantaro was dodging all the attacks by predicting Scarlet's attacks, while Daina kept swinging his scythe and destroying the woman's crystals. Beads of sweat rolled down the boys' faces. They were clearly tired.

Scarlet's magic and spells were obviously not as great as Violet's, but she was faster and more powerful in strength. Overall, she was even stronger than her sister. Scarlet laughed madly as she continuously fired red and sharp crystals as the two boys. Rantaro dodged them all, but Daina was already hit by at least two pieces of crystals.

Raising his scythe, Daina chanted something under his breath. A dark, smokey ord formed on top of him. Soon, the orb slowly took the form of a human being. It liked like a shadow version of Daina. Then, more and more shadows formed. They all looked like their summoner.

"ATTACK!" Daina shouted. The shadows charged at Scarlet. The crystals didn't hurt them, as they were shadows without a physical body.

"SOOTHSAYER! GRIM REAPER! THIS SHALL BE YOUR DEATHS!" Scarlet screamed and shooted more and more crystals at them.

Rantaro's aura glowed and a big orange bubble surrounded him and Daina. The bubble blocked all of Scarlet's attacks. "Whoa... I can do that?" Rantaro whispered to himself. But after a while, the bubble disappeared. Daina was quickly struck by another piece of crystal.

"DAINA!!!" Rantaro and the others yelped. Scarlet smirked.

Daina wiped another few drops of blood from his chin. "I'm... I'm fine," he hissed and glared at Scarlet.

He swinged his scythe at Scarlet. Her eyes widened at the sudden attack.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" She let out a blood curling scream. The others were also terrified. Scarlet's left hand had been cut off. Blood splattered on the floor like a waterfall. "My hand! MY HAND!!!"

"Stop! Daina!" Wakiya yelled, feeling nauseous. "That's enough!!" On the side, Shu quickly covered Valt's eyes.

Daina ignored him and summonded another shadow at Scarlet. Despite not having a physical body, the shadow punched Scarlet's stomach. She screamed again.

"She hurt my friends and me. Hell is waiting for her," he snarled. "I will not let anyone who hurt my friends go." Daina striked his scythe at Scarlet again. But this time, nothing was cut off. Instead, a smokey aura surrounded her.

"Demon, go back to Hell. You belong there," he said. Scarlet's body started to fade. But instead of showing fear, Scarlet looked happy. She looked as if she wasn't scared of what would happen to herself. Scarlet suddenly laughed.

"What's so funny?" Daina demanded.

Without blinking, she fired a huge red crystal at Daina. No one saw it coming, not even Rantaro. It was just too fast, and her action completely changed the future he predicted in just a split second. 

"DAINA!!" Rantaro tried to make his shield bubble again, but he was too late.

The Grim Reaper's body flew across the room. The scythe fell from his hand and the smokey aura surrounding Scarlet disappeared.

"Grim Reaper, Winged Dragon and Soothsayer. Interesting. I have just made up my mind. I will not only have the princes' powers, but also yours!!" She laughed again as a shower of crystals poured down at the fallen Daina. He tried to grab for his scythe, but the crystals were too fast.

"Daina!" Rantaro and Wakiya yelled together. Rantaro casted an orange bubble around Daina to block the crystals, while Wakiya waved his hand to control the stones around him.

"That's it, bitch!!!" Wakiya finally screamed. He fired the stones and rocks at Scarlet, in which she shot her crystals back at Wakiya. A huge explosion sounded as crystals and rocks collided. Scarlet had forgotten about Daina, so Zac quickly ran towards the black haired blader and started to heal him.

Zac kneeled down beside Daina and began to concentrate. After a few seconds, small golden bubbles started to form around his injuries. Slowly, Daina began to heal.

Scarlet used the explosion as a smoke screen and fired a surprise attack at Wakiya. The crystals hit Wakiya square on the chest. Wakiya cried out in pain and fell to his knees while clutching his wound. Just as Scarlet was about to strike again, an orange orb hit her from the back. The orb burnt her velvet dress a bit, leaving a burnt mark. 

"MY DRESS!!" Scarlet screeched. She glared fiercely at the angry Rantaro, and Rantaro stared back at her angrily. "My dress... You'll pay for that!!" She then raised her only hand and fired another five crystals at Rantaro, and the blonde blader dodged them all easily.

"Demon!!" Rantaro shouted. "No matter how hard you fight, you will be defeated by us! I predicted it! Your downfall is near! You will be defeated either way—" He was cut off by another wave of crystals sent towards him when he was busily talking. He didn't have anytime to dodge.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!"

"FOOLS! YOU ALL ARE!!" Scarlet yelled. "You think I'll be fooled and threatened by your little lie?! Huh, Soothsayer?! My downfall, you say?! No, I will have your and the princes' power!!! I will not die!! I CANNOT die now!!!" Crystals striked and striked and striked, soon Rantaro, Wakiya, and even Zac and Daina were hit by them. The other Spin Emperors and their other seven friends also got hit. Except for Rantaro, no one saw them coming. Rantaro wanted to warn them, but he was too pained to do so.

"Yes... I'm winning! I'M WINNING!! Soon, all of you will be devoured by me! You all must be DELICIOUS!!!" She laughed uncontrollably.

Scarlet walked towards the boys and licked her lips. "Hmm... who should I eat first? You all look so edible!!" She looked at Shu, in which he froze in horror. "No... not my dear princes. I'll save the best for last..." Her gaze fell on the shaking Yugo, Ukyo and Quon.

"You three~ You look so sweet~" She cooed and lifted Ukyo's chin with her fingers. "You especially. You look like a cat~ I just ate four cats a week ago... watching them struggle beneath me is soooo delighting!"

Ukyo shivered with dread and closed his eyes when he felt the woman ran her togue over his hair. His face was white with fear and green with disgust. He knew he was going to die, eaten by the insane cannibal in front of him. She ate cats, and Ukyo knew that she wouldn't mind eating human beings as well. 

"Ukyo!!" Yugo shouted. "No! Don't touch him!! Please!" 

Scarlet let go of Ukyo and looked at Yugo with interest and hunger. Yugo quickly realized his mistake. "And you too," she smiled. "You smell so good... like green tea~ I wonder what you taste like..." She grabbed Yugo by his neck and started to sniff him. Scarlet giggled and laughed.

"Finally! I have been waiting for human flesh for so long! And power! I feel power flowing out the two of you!!" She then turned to Quon. "And what about you~? You also look delicious..." She bent down and stuck out her tongue to lick his hand. Quon squeezed his eyes shut. It felt so wet. It felt so disgusting. Scarlet started to bite his skin, leaving a few marks. Blood was dripping out of Quon's hand, and the boy winced in pain. Scarlet sucked away the blood.

"Ahhh~ so good!" She said and stood up. She opened her mouth and start to bite Quon's neck. Blood was streaming, and Quon knew he would die.

The others looked at the disgusting and terrifying scene before them. They were frozen, faces showing no emotion other than horror and fear. Zac, Wakiya, Daina and Rantaro tried to stop Scarlet, but they couldn't move from their injuries, and Zac was too terrified to even heal himself. A sobbing sound was heard. 

"QUON!!!" Ukyo screamed, tears streaming down his face. "EAT ME INSTEAD!!! DON'T KILL HIM!! KILL ME INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing. Scarlet stopped sucking Quon's blood. Ukyo stopped screaming. Quon fell onto the ground.

"W-What is this?!" Scarlet shouted.

The ground was shaking. The room all of they were in was shaking. The walls were cracking and stones bursted open. The ceiling looked as if it was going to fall down, and rocks from the ceiling above Scarlet fell. Scarlet tried to to escape, but she couldn't. It was like gravity pulled her down. The rocks crashed down onto her and she screamed loudly. 

No one knew what was going on, except for Rantaro. His eyes were wide as he realized something. "It's just like I predicted..." He looked at a certain direction. "XHAKA!!"

Everyone else looked towards the same direction. They gasped as they saw Xhaka.

He didn't look like Xhaka, at least not like the one they knew from before. A red and orange aura surrounded the angry Spin Emperor. His eyes were just like Zac's; glowing dangerously. He was not wearing his usual clothes. Xhaka was wearing a black and golden armour, and on his head was a crown made of precious rocks and stones. He was also wearing a pair of metal boots. Under his feet, black plants and roots started to grow. Xhaka was not angry; he was furious.

"THAT'S IT, DEMON. DAINA IS RIGHT. YOU SHOULD GO TO HELL!!!!" Xhaka roared.
