Motor gang

Julieth was a little startled when she heard those words from the pleading Raves. Though, soon enough, she came to a decision and just looked away,

"Sorry, but I cannot help you, even I'm a Goddess."

Zero was just silent with a frown, as he cannot do anything to help his old friend caught up in a dire situation.

Raves grit his teeth in despair,

"What do you mean? Aren't you a Goddess?"

Julieth closed her eyes,

"We may be Goddesses, but we can't change the decision of mortals such as yourselves."

Raves couldn't believe of what he heard from the Goddess herself. Thereafter, he stood up and expressed his falling tears,

"Y-you mean...Ruvias chose on her own accord?!"

Julieth just didn't react, but Raves saw Julieth's pitiful eyes upon him.

Thereon, Raves fell to his knees and poured out more sorrowful crystal fragments,

"Why...why has she chosen to be nothing, but a mindless slave!"

He smacked the ground repeatedly, as his core was aching and creating small cracks inside.

Julieth was also saddened for the former king of Revelas,

"That, I don't know the true reason. But she said she wanted power and luxury."

She approached Raves and gave him a comforting pat on his back, trying to lift his spirits,

"While we can't do anything to overturn her decision, you still have someone precious to you. Am I correct?"

Raves had stopped looking down in despair. There, he saw in front of his eyes that Julieth was showing a picture of the cheerful Ruri wearing a pink princess outfit.

He handled the picture with care,

"My daughter..."

On the other hand, Thelamia, Genocide, and Spheera were about to leave the rural area of the bright Revelas fielded with asphalt road.

Thelamia felt something amiss and looked down with a frown,

"Geno...let's return."

Genocide nodded seriously and tipped his hat,

"Yeah."

Even Spheera agreed.

Genocide made a sudden U-turn. Now, they are on their way back to the mansion of lord Raves. When they arrived at the entrance of the huge place they saw that the silver gates were locked tight. They went out of the vehicle afterwards and stood in front of the gates.

Genocide tried to ring the doorbell. Though, nobody answered.

Gneocide scratched the back of his head,

"That's strange..."

Spheera puffed,

"Can't you just smack it with your head"

Genocide crossed his arms,

"Wish I could, but my head isn't that hardheaded as you'd think."

Spheera just rolled its eyes,

"Ppppft! Yeah right..."

Thelamia touched her pouting lips,

"How about use your strong powers to open those bars Geno?"

Genocide nodded with conviction,

"Might as well try."

He brushed up his sleeves and breathed-in deeply. Then, he squeezed the steel bars.

Thelamia looked around, sightseeing the whole area. At the left-most area, she observed that there was another gate at a short distance,

"Huh? There's another gate? I wonder why..."

Soon, she saw three warriors wearing the signature azure and crimson armors were about to enter the other side of the gate.

They started to have a rowdy conversation on their motorcycle with a sidecar and Thelamia overheard them,

"Brah! Why'd you forget that of all things!"

"Don't ask me okay! Well I'm sure the li'l princess wouldn't mind us having a roundtrip back to the mansion of the weak former king!"

Then, she noticed that one of the men lifted and talked to the rusty briefcase he was holding,

"Hear that princess? We're just gonna have a tour at the mansion again, before we have fun with you."

Then, all of them laughed like maniacs,

"Don't take it personally. The king ordered us to do this. The current king I mean."

Genocide patted the eavesdropping Thelamia at the corner of the wall,

"What's up Thamy?"

In a snap, one of the Revelas warriors took notice of Genocide from a short distance,

"Oh shoot! It's a Vampian!"

"Of all things! Let's scoot men!"

The two men hitched on the sidecar while the other drove and fled away from Genocide's eye immediately.

The only thing, Thelamia, Spheera, and Genocide saw were the particles of dust and smoke as the men left.

Suddenly, Thelamia felt the voice of Ruri inside her chest,

"Please...somebody..."

Thelamia shut her eyes for a few seconds. Then, she came to a decision and gave Genocide a serious look,

"Geno, let's follow 'em."

Genocide tipped his hat with confidence,

"Sure, why not. They acted suspicious when they saw me."

Soon enough, they hitched back to their vehicle. Then, Genocide started up the engine and drove the sidecar fast,

"Time to catch those idiots."

Later on, the knight who was driving the vehicle, was startled when he saw his sidemirror,

"Shoot! Now they're following us!"

There, he noticed that Genocide caught up to them and followed them on their path.

One of the men on the sidecar brought out something from his pocket,

"Not for long."

He took a stable stand on top of the sidecar. After that, he tossed small steel balls. As those marbles dropped to the ground, those turned into razor sharp caltrops and spikes.

Genocide grinned with an eager look of a tiger,

"You'd think that'd stop us?"

Genocide accelerated his motorbike and felt the gales were slapping his face stronger than before. As he was near the dreadful obstacles, he swerved to the left and dodged the spikes in the nick of time.

Instead of the men getting worried, he noticed that they were laughing hard, turnin him to look sketchy.

Thelamia looked behind and her mind was shookt,

"Uuuhh Geno?S-something's following us..."

There, she saw that the spikes were now sawblades homing on them behind.

Genocide took a sudden peek at the back,

"Those things are following us huh."

Spheera had an idea,

"Thamy! Use me!"

Thelamia nodded with an optimistic smile,

"Right!"

Her hands grabbed Spheera. She aimed for the homing blades. Then, she used Spheera like it was laser gun, Soon, the potential obstructions were obliterated and they were able to break a sweat,

"Great job master!"

"Phew, that's the last of 'em."

Genocide made a thumbs up,

"Thanks Thamy and who knew you'd be useful for once Spheera."

Spheera didn't like Genocide's sort of compliment,

"Hey! I'm 101% useful okay!"

Genocide went close to their target by a few meters away,

"Now it's our turn."

As he was about to unsheathe his trusty flaming blade, he decided not to, when he saw a crowded area filled with merchants, goods, and such,

"The marketplace huh."

Spheera looked dubious,

"What's wrong? It's just a marketplace!"

Genocide tipped his hat, while he was feeling the sudden breeze,

"Let's just say, I don't want civilians getting invovled in this. Even if they're from Revelas."

When, Thelamia heard those gallant words from her companion, she saw a new light from him,

"I see, thanks for your consideration, Geno. Besides, the Goddess won't like it."

Both Genocide and the men passed through the pupulated marketplace and lots of people were startled by the sudden sprint of the motorbikes.

Thelamia noticed that something had caught Genocide's eyes,

"What is it Geno?"

Genocide grinned and boosted his motorbike's speed. He went close to a busty waitress wearing a short maid outfit. Then, in an istant, he flipped her flowing undergarment. In a split second, he saw the white silk of pureness covering the ripe peaches of the heavens.

"AAAAAHHHH! You pervert,"

the waitress shouted at him while she was blushing and feeling embarassed.

"Gahahahahahah! Those were nice panties,"

Genocide just laughed like hell.

Thelamia and Spheera just made a long winding sigh for their perverted driver.

Soon, they were now outside the vicinity of the marketplace. Genocide unleashed his weapon. Then, he brandished his sword and loosed out flaming blades upon their enemy's vehicle.

The knights were feeling the strong impacts, as their vehicle was about to break down sooner or later,

"I'm just a rookie! I didn't sign up for this!"

"Me too brah!"

Soon, the burning strike hit upon the motorcycle's engine and the motorcycle exploded into bits. Thereon, the me were flung away to the ground, while they were holding the briefcase.

Not much soon, they heard footsteps, that was getting nearer and nearer. They stood up and brushed away the sirt they accumulated. As they looked behind, Genocide was grinning sarcastically,

"Heh, now ya won't be able get away now."

He cracked his hands as he was about to beat them into submission,

"Hand o'er the li'l princess."

The knights just dropped the briefcase. Then, they cowered and fled as fast as they can,

"I don't wanna die!"

"These Vampian fiends are too strong!"

Genocide was jusy left scratching the back of his head,

"I was hoping for a fiery battle. Guess these errand boy rookies don't have nerves of steel yet."

He returned to Thelamia and Spheera, whule he was carrying the briefcase,

"Now we got the princess back."

Thelamia jumped we joy with a peace sign,

"We did it!"

Genocide tipped his hat,

"Let's just open this..."

He tried to open it, but it was locked tight. Thelamia told him that it needs a numerical password through pushing numbers.

He looked at Thellamia,

"Thamy? Do you know the password?"

Thelamia was irritated when she heard that idiotic question,

"How should I know?!"

He just scratched his lower chin,

"Hmmm...let's just crsck this open."

Thelamia looked worried,

"Just be gentle okay? Ruri's in there."

Spheera nodded.

Sooner or later, Genocide smacked it with his hammer-like arm repeatedly. Though, the briefcase won't even budge. He sighed later on as it wasn't even opening,

"This is one sturdy briefcase. Maybe I should try burning it."

Thelamia's eyes went wide,

"Wha?!"

Suddenly, they heard a deafening alarm from a nearby watchtower. Then, they were noticing that several plated warriors of azure and crimson were approaching them fast.

Genocide just scratched the back of his head,

"I forgot, we're still in Revelas territory."

Spheera fumed once more,

"How could you forget that you big oaf?!"

Suddenly, the three of them heard a mysterious voice of a woman from somewhere,

"Time for us to leave, lord Genocide."

That moment, they had vanished with the vehicle as well. Then, they had arrived at the meeting room, that was also lounge of the queen. The three of them were panting hard on the ground as they were very exhausted,

"Geez, that was scary..."

Genocide looked up,

"Thanks for that...Sasha..."

In front of him was the standing tall lady named Sasha.

The crimson-eyed Sasha took one step and nodded. Then, she flipped her brazen flaming hair that was flowing as sea of silver flames with braids. She had an intimidating look of beauty, but she had a maternal aura and figure that would make any child grow attach to her. More so she even appeared more angelic, as she was wearing an all white veil and dress.

Julieth embraced her son with grace and affection,

"I'm truly glad you three made it out alive at the enemy's domain."

Genocide just scratched the back of his head, while his mother was squeezing him tight,

"Yeah, but we brought back Ruri here since Thamy and me felt something screwy going on."

Zero crossed his arms and nodded.

Julieth made a frown in return,

"We thought so too."

Thelamia took notice that lord Raves was sitting on the sofa with a disappointed expression. Thereupon, she was caught with surprise,

"Eh? What's the former king of Revelas doing here? Did they kidnap you?"

Lord Raves shifted at Thelamia,

"No young one. They were the ones who saved me from my own deranged wife who wanted to kill me."

When Thelamia heard the harsh truth, she had a face of for Raves,

"Oh."

Raves sighed and pointed at the briefcase,

"My daughter is inside there am I correct?"

Genocide stood up and bowed elegantly at Raves,

"Yes, your lordship."

Then, he scratched the back of his head with a silly grin on his face,

"Well, the thing is, we don't know how to op—."

"Let me handle this,"

Sasha interrupted.

Genocide nodded.

Not much soon, Sasha used her picklocking techniques to open the briefcase. It was a very tense situation as all of them were staring at the briefcase. Suddenly, they heard that there was quick clink. Sasha smiled. As she opened the briefcase, the adorable Ruri popped out looking very dizzy,

"Uuuuuhh! I'm seeing stars."

All of them were filled with relief.

Sasha gave a soft headpat to Ruri,

"You're safe now Ruri."

Ruri had stopped feeling nauseous. She looked up and saw the heartwarming smile of Sasha,

"Mama Sachi!"

The next moment, Ruri pounced and hugged Sasha like she was a joyful koala. Sasha hugged the clingy Ruri as she was a real mother to Ruri.

"Sachi?"

Raves was also startled by the sudden behavior of his own daughter. Though, when he saw how caring Sasha looked to Ruri, he also grew affectionate of her.

Even Thelamia was shocked,

"Mama?"

Julieth noticed that Raves was blushing, when he was staring at Sasha, so she grinned and nodded. Then, she spoke with her chin up, while her eyes were shut,

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. Since, I don't trust my son very much on handling little girls, I let Sasha take care of Ruri. Sasha is also one of the strongest fighters who participated during the great Crysalis war."

She caught her breath and she whispered to Raves's right ear afterwards, while her smile was vixen-like

"Though, I must tell you, she was also a mother at one time. Yet, she lost her children during the war. Worst part is, her husband left her for another woman."

As he heard that depressing backstory of Sasha's, Raves was filled with deep pity for the smiling Sasha,

"I see."

When he saw how happy Ruri was with Sasha, Raves was convinced and cried tears of joy,

"So my li'l daughter was taken vary well."

Raves stood up and he was about to leave.

Zero noticed that Raves was about to open the door to the outside,

"Might I ask where you're going Raves?"

Raves sighed and looked through the winding hallways,

"Ruri's better off with her than with me. Since, I no longer have any power or authority held over Revelas. Even my wife wanted to kill me and let our daughter be violated by that corrupted king."

Julieth patted Thelamia's back,

"Thamy, this'll be a private matter regarding—."

"I understand. So can I and Spheera take a tour of the castle again? I wanna see what unique places this castle has,"

Thelamia said in initiative.

Julieth nodded attentively,

"Y-yah sure..."

Thelamia turned to look at Spheera,

"Let's go Spheera!"

Spheera agreed,

"Sure master!"

Then, Thelamia and Spheera sprinted like a fairy in the hallways.

When Thelamia and Spheera had left, Julieth was just estranged over the affirmation of Thelamia.

As for Genocide, he followed Thelamia and Spheera.

Thereon, Julieth, Raves, Zero, Ruri, and Sasha were the only ones left at the room. All of them sat on the sofa comfortably.

Suddenly, Raves begged in front of Ruri without any hint of pride whatsoever,

"I'm sorry for selling you out my daughter."

Other than Ruri and Raves, all of them were startled, when they saw Raves apologizing without any shame.

As for Ruri, she just looked innocent and swayed her small legs playfully,

"Mmmmmm...it's okay papa. My tail tells me that you were just forced to do it. And you came back for me now!"

Julieth crossed her legs,

"So about Ruri—."

Ruri interrupted and rocked her seat,

"I wanna go with papa!"

Raves had stopped pleading, instead he knelt and explained to Ruri with gestures,

"Ruri, but your real mama doesn't like you. She also dislike me as well."

Ruri's ears curled down when she heard those words from her father. Though, she had stopped feeling down the gutters and thought of an idea instead, while her legs were swaying,

"Mmmm then..."

She stood up and grabbed Sasha's hand. Then, she grabbed her father's hand with the other. Afterwards, she let the two hold hands together with a bright smile on her face,

"Papa be with Mama Sachi!"

Raves was caught with surprise, as for Sasha, she blushed as she was a shyly maiden.

Raves tried to utter out his uncertainties, but Ruri was persistent,

"Don't worry papa! Mama Sachi is a good mama! She just don't like big brotger Genocide that's all. Lots of my big sisters hate big brother too, I don't know why!"

Raves felt that Ruri was willing

"I see...but, I need to ask lady Sasha first, if she's alright with this."

Ruri looked around capriciously, while she was toching her small lips,

"Mmmmmm...I'm sure mama Sachi wouldn't mind..."

She looked at the beautiful Sasha,

"Right mama Sachi?"

Sasha rubbed Ruri's wolf ears with care. Then, she made a nice courtesy to Raves,

"Yes, and it'd be an honor to be with the former king. If he's alright with it."

Raves looked flushed when Sasha was totally elegant in front of his eyes,

"A-aaahh...yes, I'm alright being with the gorgeous lady Sasha."

Once again, Julieth went close to his ear,

"She's also single up until now."

Raves was flustered once more.

It seems the Goddess queen likes to tease her friends.

Zero just made a long winding sigh as his wife was acting as a sly fox.

There after, Julieth clasped her hands and said with a smile,

"With that settled, would you prefer to have a home in neutral teeeitory or in Vampian domain?"

Raves was in his thoughts for a few seconds. Though, he came to a decision fast,

"I think we'll stay in Vampian domain for the safety of my new family."

Ruri giggled and Sasha held Raves's hand as she was a trustworthy woman.

Julieth nodded,

"I see, we just have one favor, if it's alright with you."

Raves replied,

"What is queen Julieth of Vampia?"

Julieth exhanled her tension and looked at Raves straight in the eye, without any hostility,

"Do live a promising life lord Raves. May our scarred people follow in your new footsteps."

Sooner or later, Sasha, lord Raves, and Ruri bid farewell to the king and queen of Vampia. Then, they went away filled with rays of sunshine afterwards.

Julieth took a seat at the sofa and crossed her legs. She turned to look at the right corner and asked Zero who was drinking wine,

"I just noticed Zero. Do you think Sasha and lord Raves would make a nice couple?"

Zero just made a cool smile,

"Who knows my Goddess."

He took an aromatic sip of his liquor and sat close to her,

"Now let me ask you back. Do you think they'll bring even more color to our scarred people."

Julieth carressed her husband's vacant hand and gave him a look of shining hope,

"Yes, I believe that they can, my king.
