Struggle Across the Tyrannical Dawn

Emily looks at Ares.
"I think I'm ready to be Empress," Emily says, "Its time a woman took over."
Arius is Tantalizer's eyes. This is a very bad situation. He makes his decision and he teleports Tantalizer into their mansion.
"Be careful she isn't herself at the moment, she is in a puppet state," Arius said, "It appears my brother has learned to control his abilities a little."

 

Tantalizer looked blankly at her sister, her eyes fixed at her chest for aiming the heart. She growled and then pushed her hair back.
"Must. Terminate."
She repeated mundanely, and dashed forward with her right foot swinging towards her sister. Her agility and new found strength did a number.

Tatee took the hit, falling onto the ground. Her aloid armor helped only a little with her condition but she was quick to react as she swung over her leg swinging for a kick at her knees, the butt of her sword aiming for her chest.

Tantalizer fell behind, her knees crackling. She groaned, her hands reaching behind to prevented her back from hitting the ground. She then leapt forward with a somersault, and suddenly her body transformed, her hands growing a silver coat. The metal hand reached for Tatee with no mercy.

Tatee hissed and rolled to her side, but not in time. The metal hand grabbed hold of her arm, squeezing it with a painfully strong grasp. The sword fell from her hand, as she grabbed for knives. She yelled in pain as her sister seemed to aim for other areas. In quick thrusts the knives flew at her sisters chest.

In a sudden flash, Tantalizer found herself elsewhere. She looked around with anger, finding herself with familiar faces. She then looked down at Tatee who seemed to have launched an attack with her knives.

"What is this?"

She growled, getting on her feet. Her metal skin seemed frightening and inhuman, something to do with Devil. Her hands were stagnant on her sister's collar.

 

Ares watches as Tantalizer and the siren appears in front of him. He looks at Tantalizer's new metal skin. "So, Devil has completely taken control of you. You were foolish to go back to him." Ares stands and reaches his hand out towards her, saying "My offer from earlier is still open. Reject your master and join me."

 

The sudden change of surroundings confused her, giving her sister enough time to put her metallic hands on her throat. She struggled against her sister’s grasp, her feet kicking and her body shaking. Her breath was being taken away in the worse possible of ways. She flung her body up, sending her sister off balance. She took her chance and ran at her sister, sending her flying against the opposite wall. She stopped, falling back as she noticed the others. She stumbled for her sword, her wrist throbbing from her sister. She stood in a defensive position, as she pressed the indicator on her belt. The signal was sent out instantly.

 

Emily got up suddenly, itching for a fight. Arius sat her down. Arius shook his head no and mouth the word to wait and sit still. Emily pouted a little and kicked the coffee table once again. Making all the bags of stuff fall on the floor.

 

Tantalizer panted heavily, heaping herself from the cracked wall. She blew her hair behind, and this time passed an angry look towards Ares, and then Arius.

"You both are not to interfere."

She said in a shallow, unknown voice. Her eyes darted to her sister who had seemingly arranged her escape. She hissed and then plunged towards her, her nails growing unnaturally.

"Must. Terminate!"

 

"Emily, grab her and pin her down. Arius, do what ever you have to, to get Devil out of her mind." The blue flame wings grow from Ares's back as he quickly flies towards the siren. He grabs a hold of her, around her ribs. Pinning her arms at her side. "Move, or use your power, and I'll burn to to ash."

 

The laugh escaped her lips as she looked at him with a naughty glare.

“You’ll have to understand why I don’t care.” Her voice came out angelic, much unlike her figure, “Signals… they get to certain people..." Her eyes turned quickly, a glint of sadness filled them,"Why don’t you let me go? I’ll be a good girl.”

Her other hand moved slowly to his chest, “I can… reward you of course.”

 

Ares'es wings flair up, creating an intense heat around him. "Do you honestly think I'll fall for that. I'm not some love sick fool like you turned Jack into. Stay still, or be burned alive. Your choice."

.......I hope Emily is keeping an eye on Tantalizer.......

 

OOC: I have to do this.
Emily held tight on Tantalizer she wasn't going to let her go. Emily was a lot stronger then Tantalizer, which made it easy for Emily.
I have a good grip on her.

Allan watched the battle between Ares and the wicked siren herself. Allan couldn't just sit there any more.
He did something so unlike himself. He found a knife on the ground and threw it at the siren.
It gouged her left bicep, but nothing more.

 

The blood runs down her arm, and onto Ares'es hand. Ares jumps back. Looking over at Emily holding Tantalizer, Ares says "Please don't hurt her. She isn't in control of her actions right now. Hey Tantalizer, snap out of it! You're stronger than this."

 

She growled angrily as the blood flowed from the wound. Her free hand motioned to go towards the wound, but she quickly paused.

“You mind?” she hiss angrily, “Or are you going to let me bleed?”

She was definitely tired of this situation.

 

"Considering that you're a sadistic b!tch, I should just let you bleed." says Ares as she grabs a bit of cloth and bandages her wound. "Your lucky you're more use to us alive, than dead, siren." Ares gives a couple tugs on the cloth to make sure it was on securely. "So, any idea on how to bring you sister back to her senses. You know, before she kills you."

 

“It’s my nature.” She snapped back. Her arm throbbed but she only welcomed the pain as she eyed her sister. She could only assume who had done it, but he would pay when she got back home. He would definitely pay.

“I’ve got her necklace, if you’ll let me remove it from my satchel. Not sure how that would help, but she might like to have it back before she chews my head off.” Her voice was full of sarcasm and annoyance.

 

Ares eyes her cautiously and then says "Fine, go ahead and pull it out. Don't try anything though or I will make sure you pay for it." Ares stands back and looks over at Tantalizer. "Hey, miss commander. I can't believe I'm saying this, but please listen to your older sister just this once."

 

Devil oversaw the soldiers standing at the foot of his addressing chamber. He cackled, his customary way of starting a meeting.

"Soldiers! I have found for us an eternal solution for law and order."

He paused, and started walking to and fro.

"I have found a way to make ourselves perfect. No soldier should make a mistake, no rebellions should occur, and everyone would live together in peace and harmony!"

His raised his shoulders, and the crowd applauded.

"I am used my powers to construct ourselves a radioactive laser...I'd call it the perfection zap. After this, you are not only incapable of mistakes, but also invincible!"

The soldiers were silently as a hologram of the laser gun hovered above the crowd.

"My first lab rat would be Commander Tantalizer."

A screen flashed in front of the people, who saw an angry Tantalizer fighting off Emily.

"Ignore the traitor, she shall pay."

He hissed about Emily, and the screen went down. He then slammed his hands on the railing, and said enthusiastically:
"Everyone, including the civilians will be indiscriminately, giving this honor. Except a few traitors...and the Queen."

The mention of Tatianna did not please the soldiers, and the commanders immediately refused.

"Your Majesty, we are just as loyal to the Queen as to you."

The Devil nodded, and then asked:
"But she as loyal to you as you are to her?"

The soldiers were silent, and then Devil continued:
"She is conspiring with the rebels to annihilate your forces, and then she will annihilate them too and all that will remain would be her vain female forces. Is that the kind of Queen you want loyalty with?"

Devil flashed a screen. It was the burnt bookshop, and then an investigation downstairs got them to the secret hideout. The 'rebels' could be seen, and unlike the reality, an alteration made it seem the Queen and Ares were hugging. The soldiers were awing in horror, some dropping their weapons.

"So what will it be?"

The soldiers looked over to the King who seemed like an angel that very moment.

"All hail King Diablo!"

The first line of commanders yelled, followed by their ranks, they then bowed down, at which Devil laughed.

"Follow me into the radiation chamber. I shall transform all my army into a perfect human..in just over two hours!"

Back in the hideout, Tantalizer struggled against Emily.

"Let...go of me!"

She growled, and finally was able to loosen the grip over her a little. She kicked her leg back into Emily's guts, and growled again.

"Must. TERMINATE!"

 

She looked up from Ares back to her sister, and growled angrily at him as he let her go momentarily. She stumbled for the necklace, not really sure what it would do in the first place. She rummaged through her bag, pulling it out as her sister got loose. She ran forward, ignoring Ares, and ran for her sister.

“You going to snap out of it love?” she hissed, as she swayed the necklace in front of her sister, “Wake up!”

 

The hovering necklace grabbed Tantalizer's attention who ogled it as though her lifeline. With a single thrust Emily went flying backwards, and Tantalizer swung her claws towards her sister with fury, her mouth frothing.

"Terminate..."

She muttered, her claws wrapping around her sisters neck, the necklace dangling around aimlessly.

 

Her eyes went wide, but her hand grabbed on tightly to the necklace in her hands. Her throat was instantly constricted, leaving her breathless. She struggled to get from under her sister, feeling the life of her lungs deplenish.

“S—“ she tried to scream, but nothing but a simple sound came out. She struggled to move against her sister, not wanting to hurt her at the same time. She suddenly thrust forward, sending her sister off of her, not far away. It gave her a chance to get up. She coughed painfully and fell to her side as she stumbled to get away. She grabbed the whip from her side as her sister came forward, and aimed with a quick, powerful thrust.

 

Tantalizer cringed, and then howled like a wolf being beaten. Her hand flung to her sister's chest, tearing the cloth mercilessly. She then opened her legs wide and then thrust forward with a flip. The space between her legs narrowed as the soles of her boots went towards Tatianna's face, hitting her teeth.

 

She yelled in pain, her voice coming out in a choke, as her throat still struggled to get back to it’s normalcy. She rolled to her side, her hand going to her bleeding mouth, a few of her teeth littered the ground. She recoiled, her leg going for her sisters stomach.

Tantalizer fell back, her back cracking from the bend. Her boots screeched against the floor, and her hands reached for the windowsill behind her. Her palm burst open when the metallic rim cut into her skin, but she didn't wince. Instead, she lassoed her body with her hand as her pivot. Like a flamethrower, came down at her sister's chest.

Her sister landed on her with a painful thud, sending the air from her lungs. She struggled to keep consciousness as the strain from her lungs took over. She knocked her sister to the side as she aimed for her sword. She thrust it towards her sister with an almost angry attack.

Tantalizer's eyes widened in alarm, and she reflexively pulled her hand back. The necklace went strolling down the floor, and the sword's nip clashed with its heart. A crack split into the pendant, and as though a spell broken, Tantalizer's metal skin retreated. Her humane, beautiful eyes came to light as she stupidly looked around.

"What in the world...how did I get here? And ow! What's happening?"

She got up on her feet, rubbing her head with one hand and her hips with the other.

Tatee looked at her sister with wide eyes and stumbled to the side, as she quickly caught her breath. Every breath was forced, dizziness hit her hard.

“Do… you remember me?” she asked as she raised herself, her mouth throbbed with each word.

 

Ares decided to simply sit back and watch the battle between them. Figuring that if she killed Tatee, the spell would be broken. Then he sees that the locket broke and Tantalizer returned to normal.

Ares smiles and says "Its good to have you back miss commander. Now tell me, are you still going to work for Devil after that little incident?"

 

Tantalizer looked at Tatee with a lot of concentration, as though a security check machine. Her hands went to her cheeks, and then retreated because of the throbbing pain in her hands.

"Sister?"

The smile came on Tatee’s face and she nodded her head. She went forward, her good arm going around her sisters neck into a quick hug, until she pulled back her eyes still angry.

"What the hell happened?"

Tantalizer made a dubious face, and then shrugged.

"My knowledge is just as good as yours. I remember being in the Emperor's court...we were talking...and then everything's blank. I should be asking you what happened!"

Tatee hissed angrily as she slumped to the ground, almost looking defeated.

"What a husband."

She muttered, it ended in a rough cough, the blood coming out along with a few new teeth. Tantalizer dropped down and hugged her, tears coming out of her eyes.

"I can't believe he did this!"

Then, Ares'es words echoed in her ears. She looked to him and frowned.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?"

 

"I can't say that I'm suprised that your memory is messed up. Basically, you tried to arrest me for being a rebel. Though I did manage to somewhat convince you that Devil isn't all that great. Oh, and siren, it looks like Devil has finally rebelled against you. So, want to help us kill him?" says Ares.

 

She squeezed her sisters arm gently, and looked up at Ares angrily.

“Fake little thing, aren’t you?” she hissed, “Why does it matter?” She closed her eyes, and hummed gently, letting the sound soothe her. She really needed time to think, but she didn’t exactly have the time. But she knew what she would do.

“I don’t follow. But, I’ll definitely be going after my Husband either way.”
