Chapter 12: Frankenstein 2

Jin's POV

"Come on boy, I'm only using a finger. Entertain me, don't be so weak" Frankenstein provoked. Even if I give my best here, my best won't be enough to beat him. Ive, how can I defeat him?

[Just try to find a way]

[He's one of Cerberus' henchman after all]

[Don't expect it to be easy]

"Mark, can you hold out any longer?" Kyan asked while blasting a magic blast at the monster.

"With my copper skin spell, I can still go on for about 5 minutes" Mark replied.

"5 minutes? We're battling it for almost an hour and we didn't even leave a scratch. Just how tough is it?" Eva said.

"My mana is almost depleted. We can't win" Jane added.

[Ugh, do I have to tell you everything?]

[Awaken the zodiacs!]

[You bunch of crap]

"Zodiacs? We've just acquired them. Do you think they will listen to us that easily?" Kyan said.

"If you will still ask questions I won't give you a bit of my power anymore" Ive said.

"Oh so Miss V-" Frankenstein said.

"Shut up! I'm not talking to you" Ive replied.

"Kyan try it first, we'll keep the monster busy" Mark said.

"Will you be alright? The outcome is not sure. I might fail" Kyan replied.

"Just try it already or all of us will die here!" Jane shouted.

"Fine" Kyan replied and retreated. He went to the very back of the room, sat and concentrated.

Kyan's POV

Where am I?

Too cliché -Text

Is this the world inside that ring?

"Ah, you must be the summoner" A girl asked. She seemed to be in her mid 20s.

"We're you waiting for me? Who are you?" I asked.

"Weird. You own me but you don't know me? My mother must have picked the wrong person. No, that can't be. Mother has never done a mistake" She explained.

"Own you? What do you mean?" I asked. And who are you referring to as mother?

"Yes. I am the person inside the ring" She said. The person inside the ring? I looked at the ring and it's gone. Wait, that means...

"You're Gemini?" I asked.

"BINGO!" She replied. But isn't Gemini twins? Where is the other one?

"Where is your twin?" I asked.

"Oh, you mean the other Gemini? I'm looking at him right now" She said. Looking at him right now? Does she mean... Me?!

"Me? Explain it to me" I said.

"Whoever owns me will be my twin. We will share power, life and soul. If the owner dies, I will lose a purpose. It's also like dying so it can be counted. When a new owner arrived, I'll be revived again" She explained.

"And who's the mother you're referring to?" I asked.

"The guardian of the User. Don't you know about the system guiding the owner of Leo?" She asked. Leo? Jin's sword! That means... Her mother is Ive?

"So Ive has a child?" I asked.

"Not really, her power created as 12 constellations and she nurtures us just like a mother. She also loves us as her own children" She explains.

"She said we need to Awaken you to beat our enemies. How can I do that?" I asked.

"Mother already said that. We also planned task for you to do. You need to complete this task to see if your worthy. If you pass, we will help you" She explained.

"My friends are in grave danger as we speak, tell me the task now so I can finish it quickly" I said.

"Your task is to kill one of them" She said and then figures appeared. 3, no 5 figures appeared. Wait, aren't that... My teammates? Jin, Eva, Jane, Mark and Matt appeared.

"Hey, why are you guys here?" I asked.

"They can't hear you, but if you kill one of them. The one in the outside will die too" She said. This is extreme, what is Ive thinking? Matt is a total stranger to us, I can kill him. Wait, what am I even thinking? It's still murder. I don't want to gain power from this. What will I do?

Why are you asking that to us, idiot- text

"Kill one them already, they need you outside" Gemini said.

"I won't, just let me go back already. I don't want to gain power from this kind of... Ways" I said.

"Oh, how intriguing. You passed!" She said. Wait, what?

"Well, even if you can kill 'him' already, you decided not to because of your belief. Gemini is a twin constellation, it takes two roles. The other twin will fight for his belief while the other will support her brother until he lose his belief. Do you understand? Now go back there and kick their ass. Oh, I almost forgot. My spell is 'Double Disaster'. Good luck!" She said and teleported me out of the ring. I looked at the ring and it changed. It turned into gold and a Gemini symbol appeared at the center of it. Thanks Gemini.

"Mark, you're next! I succeed!" I shouted.

"Thank goodness. Ok! Hold the monster!" Mark said and we exchanged places.

Mark's POV

"Be aware Moo owner!" I heard someone shouted and a battle axe was flung at me. Luckily, I managed to evade.

"Why are you attacking me!?" I asked.

"Moo owner, this is your task" He said. Wait, he's a Cow!!!

"You cow!!!" I managed to dodge it's attacks. His swings are powerful but slow, I can manage to dodge it but if it keeps up. I'm done for.

"Mark, just quit!" Is that? Jane? I ran to where Jane is.

"Jane, why are you here?" I asked.

"We already did it. We don't need your protection anymore. We don't need you! We're stronger now. We don't need a weakling like you!" Jane said.

"That's right Mark. You're just dragging us down. You're the cause of our downfall. Just quit already" Captain Emray is here too.

"I won't be your friend anymore. Your weakness is disgusting" Andrei is here too. They're all here and they... They despise me.

"Moo owner, you're dead meat now" The cow said and swing it's axe on me.

They despise me. Am I that weak? Am I?

"Yes you're weak you bullshit. You can't even protect us!" Heart?

"You're useless Mark. You have no use in the team" James, you too?

Maybe you're right. I can't even protect myself. How can I protect you? For me to think of foolish things. Heh, maybe I just quit then.

"Heeeeeeelp!" Jane shouted. What the, that cow tried to attack Jane.

"You will be my food Mooman" The cow said and tries to swing it's axe. Luckily, I managed to block it to save Jane. Luckily? It sliced me in half.

Oh no- text

"Moo Owner, your heart is pure like the earth. You passed Moo Owner. I shall give you power and strength that will cause the earth to shake. After all, they don't call me Taurus for nothing" Taurus said and I'm teleported to the real world.

"Mark! Your headgear... It actually turned into horns" Jane said. What? I touched my forehead and there it was. It's attached to my flesh. Now, I'm like a walking cow.

"Two succeeds, two more." Ive said "Mark, did Taurus taught you the spell?"

"What spell?" I asked.

"Taurus has two spells, the 'Diamond Rush' and 'Earthly Tremble'. Test that spells after Eva and Jane succeeds too"
