Chapter 3: The Lagoon

The time rift had opened up in a different location, which seemed like it would be a familiar place to Koko and Valmet. But not to Scarlet and Nightmare, a bunch of people had stopped and looked at them noticing the situation Valmet and Koko were in. Panicking, the civilians fled the area.

"Where the hell are we this time?" Scarlet asked scanning around, the smell in the air made her plug her nose. "The smell of heat, and fish markets don't mix.."

Koko spat the gag ball out of her mouth as she snickered. "The city Roanapur, Southeast Thailand. You two are going to be in huge trouble~" Koko had a huge smirk on her face after she had said that.

Nightmare knocked Koko out as she glanced at Scarlet. "There's something I should tell you before I forget. Me and Queen are two different people, that form I took looking like Queen was a mere memory of when we met."

"Really now? Interesting." Scarlet said as she could hear the sound of a car's engine coming from down the street. "Seems like we have company coming, blasting their engine loudly like that."

The car swerved and drifted as it came to a halt, a Chinese American woman in her mid twenty's got out of the car, wearing a black crop top, and blue jean short shorts her brown hair was in a pony tail as she had a pissed off look on her face. "Can't get some fucking peace and quiet around here can I?" She flicked a cigarette down onto the ground and stepped on it.

The two girls looked at the woman as they noticed her glancing at them. She had noticed Koko and Valmet by the two as she grins. "Holy fuck, Koko and Valmet. Got their asses handed to them! But that's bad news for you two."

Scarlet snickered. "Really now? And what do you mean by that exactly?" She crossed her arms thinking this chick would barely touch them.

The woman smirked as she stepped away from the car, already holding her two pistols in her hands. "I suppose I should tell you who your killer is, but it won't matter remembering it when you're dead before my feet. My name is Revy, they call me two hands..and I don't give a shit about your lives." Revy pointed her pistols at the two as she smirked. "I never miss a shot."

Nightmare was about to draw her musket and flintlock, but Scarlet stepped in front of her. "Really now Revy? You'll find it hard to kill us both~ You better call for some back up to help you. Or you'll end up like Valmet here."

Revy scoffed as she cocked her head to the side. "What the hell did I just say? Clearly you're fucking high not to even listen."

Kurumi looks at Scarlet and leans near her ear. "What do you suppose we do? I'm down for anything to get her out of our way, besides that I did leave a little present in Koko's world."

Revy gripped her pistols tight. "My trigger fingers are itching here, I suggest you two bitches run before I fill you with bullet holes."

"Ara, didn't you just say you'd kill us? Did you have a change of heart Chinglish?" Scarlet asked. "I'll make you a deal Revy, you take Koko and Valmet and run with your tail tucked between your legs. And me and my partner here will get out of your hair, sound fair? Or are you looking to fight us so badly that your ego is too big for you to hide?"

Revy growled as she was pissed. "The hell did you call me?" She pulled the trigger on both of her pistols as the bullets went flying and right into Scarlet. Revy smirked thinking she put an end to Scarlet's cocky attitude, but something made her freeze in place.

Scarlet cackled as she glared at Revy. "Kihihihi....did you really think that would hurt me? Please." The bullets came popping out of Scarlet's body as the bullet wounds healed up.

"Where the fuck did Revy run off too?" Dutch asked as he looked over to Rock and Benny. "She should've been back an hour ago with some booze, Balalaika hates having to be waited on. Especially when it's Revy making her wait."

Benny shrugs as he was typing away at his computer. "I couldn't tell ya Dutch, you know how Revy is. She picks fights with whoever gives her the stink eye, I wouldn't be too surprised if she's having a gun fight right n...." He stopped speaking as he looked at Dutch and Rock. "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle."

Rock cocked an eyebrow up as he walked over to Benny to see what he had saw. "What's up Benny?"

Benny adjusted his glasses as he cleared his throat. "According to this headline right here. A shoot out was going on but came to a halt...Just down the street."

"Knew it, has to be Revy." Dutch said. "Come on, let's go assist her, she might need out help more than she thinks." Dutch cracked his knuckles as he smirked. "Come on you two, the sooner we help Revy. The sooner we can have our little chit chat with Balalaika, they may be the two scariest women on earth. But just between us, Balalaika is more scary."

Rock didn't say much as he walked out, but stopped. "Revy took the car, we don't have another one to take. We'll have to high tail it on foot, that's going to be bit of a pain. It's way too hot out to walk, but we have too anyway."

"Yeah you're right." Benny said. "We could move quickly on foot if we have too."

Dutch nods in agreement. "Shit's gonna hit the fan if we screw up."

The three of them made sure they had their weapons on hand, as they started to walk down the street. In hopes they wouldn't be too late to help Revy with who she was facing off against.

Revy stood there growling as she threw a punch at Scarlet's face. "What the fuck are you? You're not human."

Scarlet caught Revy's fist, before it could make contact with her face, her eyes glowing as she grins. "It's about to get even hotter out here. I told you what you could do, but didn't bother take my offer."

Revy pulled away quickly. "Damn you to hell!" She was about to throw another punch but this time, Nightmare shot Revy knocking her back with a bit of force.

Dutch caught her in time before Revy could hit the wall. "Whoa, easy there. What the flying fuck is going on here exactly?"

"Those assholes that's what's going on." Revy said as she spits some blood onto the ground. "Look who they have over there." She pointed to the side of Scarlet and Nightmare. "Koko and Valmet."

Benny's eyes widen as his glasses nearly fell of his face. "Holy shit."

~~~

Scarlet snickered a bit as she had her arms crossed. "By all means, you all can take these two from here. Valmet has a grudge against me now, I'm letting you go off easily."

"We don't need your pity." Revy said as she balled her fist.

Rock got in front of her as he rubs the back of his head. "I think we should take her advice, we can't take her on without any other help. We might need Koko and Valmet to help us stop these two."

Revy scoffed as she flipped Scarlet off. "Fuck you!" She turned around and looked at Dutch and Benny. "Call Balalaika, we're going to need to fix up Valmet. Not to mention waking Koko up."

Nightmare looked at Scarlet as she noticed Revy talking to the others. "Are you sure this is wise? I thought you had a plan for those two?"

Scarlet turned to look at Kurumi as she grins. "I do, but what good would dead weight be to us? Besides, we can still go on our merry way and kill others."

Nightmare's eyes lit up hearing her say that. "Well then, it sounds like you want a rematch with Valmet then, but what do we do once we're done toying with them?"

Scarlet thinks for a moment as she hadn't noticed Dutch pick up Koko and Valmet, leaving the area. "Koko said we're in a place called Thailand, I wouldn't suppose your world had a similar place?"

Kurumi shrugs. "I don't know really, but I suppose we should go hunting for some prey anyway. Revy left with her buddies already. No use in standing out here in the heat, I think I see a bar over there. I say we kill whoever is inside and use that for our own needs~"

Scarlet smirked a bit, as she took Nightmare's hand and walked off towards the bar. Just for the two to cause some mayhem for whoever was inside, killing everyone who was in their way.
