Meanwhile, for the twins, their fight with Genevieve had just started, but they were already exhausted with Genevieve having not a single scratch on her. Whenever they would get close enough to attack she would shift from human to a spider and use all her eight eyes to see them from all angles then shift back and fight them equally without holding back. It was a fight of two against one but felt like they weren't even close to a fair fight.
"Admit it, you can't beat me even if you tried." Genevieve disappeared and appeared in front of the two then shifted into a spider and hit both with a pair of her strong quick legs that separated the two of them then quickly changed back to her human form.
"You see I may not be able to get into your heads and see what you may do next but I still win." She boasted at the twins as they both lay on the floor trying to push themselves back up.
Alex was the first to stand up, throwing a fireball at her then quickly changed to form a bow with flaming arrows that she fired rapidly so that she doesn't give Genevieve time to shift or attack. She then increased her speed and charged forward changing the bow to her blade and stabbing directly into the girl's chest and through the heart, "Checkmate." Alex smiled looking through Genevieve's black eyes. But she just laughed back at the gesture, "You thought it was that easy." she said as her eyes started to heat up then released red hot lasers that pushed Alex away and into a wall almost most burning her if Jack didn't jump in and made a force field around them,
"I had that," Alex complained while trying to cool off her half-burnt hairstyle.
"Well it looked like you didn't, how is she using fire magic so well?" he asked struggling to hold back the lasers, "Because she is using Argus' magic… that makes sense now. Last time she was going to suck on Scarlet's magical power maybe that's what she does." Alex explained,
"You know what that means. We have to fight her at full power by merging our minds and activating mom's power like dad said." Jack was serious and seemed like it was the only option so Alex sighed heavily and turned her hair back to normal but this time whiter than silver, "I need time to activate the merge." She said with her eyes changing to gold. This was the power they had both inherited from their mother's bloodline and it required a very strong mental link which she and Jack had been practicing since childhood.
Jack stopped the barrier and attacked head-on to give Alex time to prepare. He clashed once more with the girl, this time both their swords made a thunder-like explosive sound. He was using his determination to make himself stronger. The girl was entertained by this and made her even jolly. She switched between fire and ice attacks as they fought, when he was close she would release flames and back away then release a storm of ice to freeze him to death but he was also fast enough to dodge. He cut through the ice, then made illusions of himself that were charging at her.
She shifted to a spider to focus and see who the real Jack was. Only to feel something stab her in the back and cut through her skin. She roared in pain as she hit herself on the wall many times to get Jack off her. The pain was so excruciating that she shifted back to human still crying from the damage the sword had caused,
"You will pay demi lord." blood started to flow like tears from black covered eyes . he could feel that she was now giving off a strong aura of bloodlust with only the intent to kill.
Jack stood from destruction after being hit into a wall multiple times and falling down as a result from his last attack. He touched his head and noticed that he was no longer healing after the multiple attacks he had experienced that day. His sword was also broken but he picked it up and said, "Do your worst."
Genevieve jumped and punched him with an unimaginable force of energy that shattered the rest of the sword throwing him down. He teleported, but she pulled him back using magic, then she punched him harder and harder till he was bleeding intensively. She held him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up. Her face with the splashes of his blood.
"I am a god… I am inevitable-" a white beam of energy from above canceled her out and crashed her into the ground forming a huge hole in the ground.
Jack looked up to see where that was and it was Alex who had fired it. Her eyes were glowing gold and hair had fully changed to white and her ears were now pointed. She flew down, then helped him as she healed him.
They both held and both their eyes were now golden with white hair and pointed ears, "Let's finish this." They told each other.
"You kids are starting to piss me off." Genevieve jumped out of the hole and her face was half burned from Alex's attack which was exposing a piece of her skull. She fired rapid blasts of energy that Alex and Jack dodged so quickly as they both ran in her direction with Jack breaking her hand with a single punch and Alex throwing blades that would drain her magic the moment they entered her body something similar to her magic.
"Where is all this power coming from." Genevieve thought after feeling her power diminish the longer the blades stayed in her body, but she couldn't pull them out because she was fighting Jack on the other side.
"Am I afraid of dying?" fear crossed her mind as she saw the twins punch her at the same time, her body going numb as an aftereffect.
Her life started to flash before her eyes as her mind drifted somewhere else. She heard cries from a distance and the sound of buildings falling along with nearby explosions. It looked like a city, but everything was in chaos and people were dying from the debris that was falling from the sky. There were gunfire noises when spiders jumped from the debris and started to kill everyone that was in their way. Genevieve started to feel their pain due to her mind-reading abilities and she couldn't block it out.
"This is what you wanted," she told herself, "this is what he wanted."
"Then wake up and kill them."
A male voice echoed in her mind sending a strong pulse of fear forcing her to finally unleash an explosion of flames the moment she opened her eyes but Jack used his black flames to nullify hers. It had only just been a second, "I can't be defeated by two wannabe chaos lords." She spoke with pride as she yanked Alex's blades from her body and regenerated her broken arm.
"Watch us."
Alex and Jack attacked from both her left and right side and chopped off both her arms, but she regenerated them and incinerated the two of them from both sides destroying the entire room with just that blast. She fell on her knees after losing so much energy as the room started to crumble down.
"For your information, we are not wannabe chaos lords." Alex and Jack appeared in front of her.
Genevieve was shocked by the fact they were still alive after that attack, she had made on them, "how?"
"Let me say your mind was open for a second and that was enough for us to get in," Alex said as they both returned to their normal forms.
Genevieve smiled and remembered, "oh yeah, I guess you are that good." Alex walked up to her and placed the blade on Genevieve's neck and looked straight into her eyes, "if you dare change to a spider I will kill you." Alex warned her
"I can't the idiot made sure of that when he drilled his sword into my back," she said staring at Jack. The room continued to crumble now even faster.
"In your mind, there was a voice that commanded you to kill us. Who is that? " Alex was so terrified that she was shaking while holding the blade on Genevieve.
"He is the one that will avenge my death." Genevieve laughed, then pushed Alex away, and set herself on fire along with all the spiders that were in the room like she was the one who was controlling them.
Jack grabbed Alex and they both ran to the exit because all the cobwebs began to catch on fire and the building started to collapse even faster than anticipated.
****************
The two stepped out of the building and realized that the entire building was finally collapsing into a huge pile of rubble and dust.
The two stared at the destruction and fell on the roadside laughing at each other, I didn't know we were that strong." Alex said, looking at the night sky,
"Neither did I," Jack replied, looking at his sister. She was so happy that they had finally reconnected with something mom had left for them, "Mom didn't die of a disease…" he muttered and killed her mood instantly. She stood up, "What do you mean didn't die of a disease?"
"I mean that she didn't die at all. She disappeared when we were three something involving the royal Elvish bloodline." Jack's voice was starting to break as he explained everything. "I can't believe you kept it a secret from me." Alex was angry as tears started to shed from her eyes, "all these years I thought she was dead, you even made me go to a fake grave and mourn for someone that isn't dead."
"Alex please calm down you need to know that the royal family of the elves is dark and dangerous. Dad was doing all this to protect me and you."
"Protect us from what…." she yelled and her eyes glowed green. Jack took a few steps back, "You don't want to know."
She sighed, "There you go again being secretive, am going to Teccar and am going to find out myself and there is nothing you can say to change my mind." Alex was dead serious while talking to him. Jack stared at his sister,
"Then am coming with you." He said
A black van suddenly swept and its door was quickly slid open, soldiers different from the ones they had first encountered jumped out and pointed their firearms at them.
"False alarm they are just kids, what are you doing out here?" asked one of the soldiers, don't you know it's dangerous out here." This specific group didn't know who Alex and Jack were.
"Come with us, Dr. Lin sent us co-ordinates to the city you will be safe there," he said, trying to comfort the two as helped them enter the van, and once in the van resumed on its journey
