Hurry up, hurry up!" CC says to her team. "Just a few more hours."
Juice and Repeat had caught up with the other Superhumans just a few minutes ago, alongside DM--the sixth and most handsomest of the group (who also happens to be JB's bae because only the most beautifulest could possibly hope to date the most handsomest), sporting his signature brown hair and Shades of Coolness. He runs at full pace alongside the other Superhumans, hoping to outrun the Alpha Beast.
Truth be told, not all of them were happy that DM had arrived. When he came from the sky in a burst of pure blue energy, he approached Juice immediately and the two had a warm reunion, sparking feelings of the most intensest of jealousy in Repeat, for she, too, harbored feelings of longing for DM (much like all other women in the world).
Then there was the case with Jack, who actually secretly liked Juice because duhh, she's hella hot, but also sorta liked DM because damn, son, he fiiiiiine. Of course, that is extremely gay, but what can you do, the guy's intense *fans self.* Regardless, whilst Jack appreciated the moral support heeded by DM and JB's simultaneous existence (because it's supermotivating when you have two extremely beautiful people beside you), he is also extremely jealous because A) JB should be his, and B) he's Jack, he's supposed to be straight and amazing, damn it. Not like that ugly Chinese guy...
Speaking of whom:
"You sure he'll be there?" DM asks in his amazingly sexy voice.
"No doubt about it," Juice replies, still running at full pace. "If the plan goes well, we can actually make use of him resurrecting from Hell."
"That's if the plan goes well," CC remarks. "We still don't know if we can outrun the Alpha Beast. We've a lead, but he's still too fast--it won't be long before he catches up on us."
"Fret not, brethren," Pete says (he's really into the whole 'WE ARE THE DOMINANT SPECIES' mindset). "I smell their mortal stench from here--Sinque and Manijure be not too far."
Several more hours pass as the group of Superhumans continue the run, when finally, they find their targets--Sinque and Manijure stand conveniently side by side, like sitting ducks. If only there wasn't a big group of demons in their immediate vicinity, but no matter...
Manijure perks up immediately as the Superhumans approach, and informs Sinque of this. "They're here," he claims.
Just as he's about to inform his group of their direction, the six Superhumans trigger their Larceny.
All around, the demons fall, their power being sapped from them. Unlike last time, they do not hold back the Larceny--they allow it to take its full course, to envelope their bodies completely with their power. The sensation they feel as the demons' powers are transferred to them is excruciating, but the immediate surge of strength they feel afterwards is more than enough to make up for it. Even Stalas, the mount of Sinque, falls to the ground.
Some of the demons were outright killed by this initial purge, but there are still those who survived, struggling to stand up as they are completely drained of all energy and capability. Sinque and Manijure are weak, as well, but not as grievously effected.
"Okay," CC says. "Stage one done. Get ready... Go."
DM, Jack and CC all charge at the surviving demons with renewed vigor, energized by the surge of power they had just received. Pete and Repeat stand back, yelling in agony as two giant, black wings start growing from their backs. Once they have grown their full wingspan (a single wing was easily double their size), the brother and sister duo fly high into the air, Repeat carrying JB with her.
They land right beside Sinque.
The brother-sister duo waste no time and take battle against Sinque. They purposefully hold back, making sure not to kill him. Juice, however, sets her sights on Manijure.
"You," Manijure says. "My immortal foe."
"Now, wait! Wait up, all right? Just a second." Juice fumbles through the belongings she has in her shoulder bag, then swiftly, grabs a pair of glasses.
You see, dear reader, whilst JB had in her possession the Shades of Coolness, DM had in his possession the Glasses of Nerdiness. Juice is already incredulously gorgeous, but the Glasses of Nerdiness amplify that tenfold. When DM arrived, they returned to each other their respective eyewear: DM with his Shades and Juice with her Glasses.
Afterwards, Juice Box, in quick strokes of motion, proceeds to wear the glasses, fix her hair, apply her make-up, squeeze her cleavage and pout her lips.
"Okay," she says to Manijure. "Hai :3 ."
"GYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWHHGH!!!!!!!"
The sheer amount of beauty Juice Box has drives Manijure mad. “THE BEAUTY! THE CUTENESS! THE PRETTINESS! THE GORGEOUSNESS! THE LACK OF CHINESE! GYAAAAARRRGH!”
Pete and Repeat do their job of keeping Sinque distracted as all of this unfolds. The poor messenger doesn’t even notice the dark wizard struggling to keep composure—he is too enveloped in his battle with the siblings.
Juice Box continues to strike poses as Manijure fails to look away. And then, all of a sudden, he falls to the ground, shaking.
“H-hwuh J-Juice Box ten out of ten…” he murmurs continuously.
JB then proceeds to drag him away to a discreet corner where he will not be found, then hurries off to rejoin Pete and Repeat.
She arrives to find that they are not actually really all that into the fighting.
“We will end you,” Repeat lazily declares as she easily dodges Sinque’s blow.
“Your blood will water the ground,” Pete claims with complete disinterest as he parries Sinque’s blade. Whilst it seems to be taking an immense amount of energy for the messenger to battle these two, the siblings seem to be completely uncaring for their meager foe.
Then Sinque sees Manijure, proud and striding towards him.
“B-brother!” Sinque says as he tires. “Come! Aid me against our common foe!”
Manijure eyes him, suspiciously, curiously. Then he lifts his staffblade to him.
“I will do no such thing,” he says.
“What!? What is this!? What are you doing!?”
“LET IT BE KNOWN NOW,” Manijure declares. “MY ALLEGIANCE, IS WITH THE SUPERHUMANS! LET VEZ’NAN COME! LET HIM FACE MY WRATH AS I STAND WITH MY TRUE ALLIES!”
“TRAITOR!” Sinque charges towards Manijure, but is immediately zapped by lightning. Not enough to kill him, but enough to faze him—they still need him alive…
Just then, a gigantic Cerberus appears before Manijure.
“Fool,” Vez’Nan says. “Most unwise of you to betray me.”
Repeat appears right beside the wizard, then throws something towards Vez'nan. She grabs Manijure's hand just as the lord of Hell is about to zap him. “NOW!” she yells as they teleport away.
A feral howl echoes through the battlefield as a massive beast makes itself known. Ninja recognizes this—he has never seen it, but the rumours of its power have reached far areas of the world.
The Alpha Beast had arrived.
And it sets its eyes on Vez’Nan.
Sinque returns to his place, right beside Vez’nan and Ninja, not fully understanding the situation. The Alpha Beast, still bent on destruction, charges at them, tearing through demons as he does.
As all of this unfolds, six discreet figures can be seen in the background, one of them carrying a body bag. They continue running until they eventually fade from the scene.
