Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: Stone Cold Heart

Mukuro held onto her key blade as she floated around in space, she slowly turned around as a super sonic wave pushed her back. Within a blink of an eye, Scarlet had entered Earth's orbit and soon the atmosphere.

"Whoa.." Mukuro spun around, she glanced towards Scarlet as she didn't seem amused with what happened. "Meanie, you pushed Muku."

Scarlet ignored her as she let out a bellowing growl, steam escaped her lips as she glared down at the planet below.

Mukuro puffed her cheeks as she swung her key blade at Scarlet. "I was talking to you."

Scarlet caught the spirits key blade as she turned her head towards her, her eyes glowing with anger. "Annoying brat." She cocked her arm back as she made a fist and threw a hard gut punch to Mukuro's gut. "I'm not here for your worthless tail."

Mukuro coughed up spit and blood as she winched and held her stomach.

"Pathetic." Scarlet scoffed as she free fell into the atmosphere, she started to burn up as she fell through the sky.

Shido glanced up as he put both hands over to top of his eyes. The sun wasn't too bright, but he could see something falling from the sky, he gulped a bit thinking of what it could be. "Something is coming."

"Not something... Someone." Nia said as she adjusted her glasses. "It's her."

The twins and the other spirits froze in place as they all watched Scarlet come into a good view like a jet off in the distance. Both the twins shook and hugged Shido tightly as Origami saw this as an opportunity to join in.

Kotori stood there in the puddle of her own sweat and pee, as the flame spirit swallowed down her breakfast that was trying to come up.

Scarlet could smell their fear as she sprouted her Nevermore wings and flapped them coming to a complete stop. Her feet skidded across the pavement as smoke and steam came off her body. Her eyes still glowing with anger.

Yoshino and Natsumi yelped as the huddled up and backed away, Tohka watched as she equipped her spirit armor thinking she'd have to fight Scarlet.

"Where is she?!" Scarlet hissed as she glared at the spirits and Shido. "Where is MARIGOLD?!"

Nia was stunned by the anger coming from the Grimm girl as she chuckled nervously. "I...It's nice to finally meet you.... I'm Nia, a new spirit." Nia couldn't find the right words to say as they escaped her lips making it sound like she was terrified of her. "Or you can ca...call me sister."

Scarlet was about to say something, but Nightmare hugged her from behind. Her arms wrapped around her waist and her head resting against her back, the spirit held onto her tightly as she didn't let go.

"Queen took her..." Kurumi said as she sobbed a little. "I'm such a fool for not checking on Marigold last night.."

Scarlet turned her head as she raised her arm up and looked down at Kurumi's head. "That just means trouble, she's going to pay for kidnapping our daughter."

~~~

Queen kicked Marigold as she skidded across the ground, she smirked as she pointed her sword at her. "Come on now, you have to at least show some courage and awaken the hidden power inside your body."

Marigold got up to her feet as she stumbled and spits out a bit of blood. "I can't!" She still misktakened Queen for Kurumi, she hadn't realized it yet. "How do.you expect me to do something I don't have?!"

Queen scoffed as she swung at Marigold. "Then let me show you a way to then." Queen grinned a toothy grin as she pointed her musket at her forehead.

Marigold was still as she glared into Queen's eyes. She slapped the gun away from her forehead as she rammed her head into Queen's girl knocking her back.

Queen started to laugh as she held her gut with her hand. "I let my guard down didn't I?"

Marigold took a deep breath and exhaled. "You're not going 100%."

Queen was surprised that she noticed. But snickered, she saw one of her subordinates running over to them. "Hmm?"

Marigold was puzzled as she didn't recognize the person. She noticed the long blonde hair, the pink bow in her hair and the pink and white dress she wore. But she didn't know who this was.

"I see. Thank you Doll Master." Queen said as she looked over to Marigold. "That's enough for today... I have business to take care of."

"Huh? But..." Marigold said as she saw Queen walk off with Doll Master. "....This is pointless...."

~~~

The ground shook as Tohka was sent flying back as she crashed into several trees and hit hard against a rock. She gasped as her breath was taken away followed by spewing up blood.

Scarlet cackled as she flew towards Tohka and swung Black Rose at her, the scythe was blocked by wall of ice. The Grimm girl glanced down at saw Yoshino.

"U....Uh, I think that's enough..." Yoshino said shyly as she backed up a bit.

Scarlet scoffed as she ignored the ice spirit as she was then punched in the face by Tohka, she was sent back as she used her Nevermore wings to stop herself midair.

"Ara.... isn't that a daisy?" Scarlet asked as she glanced over to see Inverse Tohka glaring at her. "Ara. Inverse Tohka." Scarlet grinned as she twirled Black Rose around.

Tohka scoffed but smirked as she flew towards Scarlet and swung her sword at her. "Hmph, you've managed to actually piss me off."

Scarlet blocked the sword with Black Rose as the two of them clashed their weapons together. The other spirits watched as Miku was getting into position to use her powers against Scarlet.

"This seems to help her blow off some steam.." Origami said as she stayed out of the fight as she still didn't want to show her spirit form to Scarlet.

Shido nodded his head a little as she crossed his arms. "Yeah, hopefully the AST don't get involved... Then again, if they do... she could blow off more steam."

Scarlet kicked Tohka hard as she sent her flying again and right past Miku, who used her powers to try and stun Scarlet and put her under a spell. However the Grimm girl grabbed the idol by the head and smashed her head into the ground. "That was too easy."

"I think she's getting out of hand." Natsumi said as she was in her adult form. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Kotori nodded as she sent a wave of fire towards Scarlet. "If you're going to back out, do so now." The flame spirit ran through the forest as she scanned around for the Grimm. "Shit where is she?"

Scarlet stalked Kotori as she was burning from the flames Kotori sent. She stayed silent like a predator hunting it's prey.

"Oh boy." Shido said sighing. "She's screwed."

Kotori heard twigs snapping around her as she spun in circles. "Stop creeping around."

Scarlet dashed from behind Kotori. "BOO!"

Kotori yelped as she jumped from the scare she fell on her butt as she glanced back. "Son of a..."

Scarlet grinned widely as raised her leg up and was going to kick Kotori. "Say when."

Kotori was confused at what she was quoting. "Uh...."

Scarlet rolled her eyes as she kicked Kotori hard in the face. She grabbed her hair and swung her around and threw her towards the twins as she crashed into them. "Is that all?"

Nightmare was among the sprites taking part in the 'training' she walked out from the darkness as she pointed her flintlock at Scarlet. "How could you forget about me? Your greatest rival and lovely wife?"

Scarlet turned her head to look at Kurumi as she snickered. She locked eyes with her wife as Kurumi glared back at her. "Then let us dance, my darling wife~."
