Chapter 56: The Final Act Pt2

Fu helped Scarlet get to where Demigra was hiding at and where he was holding Kurumi hostage. However, something seemed fishy once her and Fu had gotten to the time rift dimension.

"DEMIGRA!" Scarlet barked. "WHERE ARE YOU!"

Fu smirked as his glasses shined, he adjusted his glasses on the arch of his nose as he went to reach for his sword, his hand rested on the handle of the sword. "Yeah about that...."

Scarlet spun around and not even asking or taking the time to think, her leg swung as her foot sideswiped Fu in his face kicking him towards a crystal. He crashed into in massive crystal as it shattered.

"Ouch, I felt that one." Fu said as he teleported behind Scarlet. "You didn't let me finish what I was going to say, jeez...."

"I don't have time for your games Fu." Scarlet said growling. "If you're going to get in my way of finding Demigra, then you're just a new enemy for me to deal with."

Fu claps his hands as he chuckled. "Ooh, you do have brains after all. From what I've heard, I thought your brain was as small as a chicken's. But boy was I wrong, you see. I can't let you see Demigra right away." He grins as he pulled his sword out. "Of course me and him are from different timelines. But.... I won't forgive you for what you and your friends done to Towa and Mira."

Scarlet scoffed as she didn't want to sit around and hear his sob story. "Oh please, your mother and farther were indeed strong. But in the end of it all, they were still weak." She cracked her knuckles as she had a toothy grin on her face. "How was I able to figure out you were the child of those two? Simple.... I can see the resemblance."

Fu was shocked as he grins. "Well that clears things up now, but still I can't let you pass. You'll have to face all sorts of challenges first before I can let you by."

"What challenges?" Scarlet asked as the Grimm girl was getting angry. "Answer."

Fu snickered as he adjusted his glasses again. "Oh what fun, so you are going to play my games after all!" He snapped his fingers as several people appeared. "These four will be your challenge, of course you have no idea who they are. But it doesn't matter, they'll make you waste your precious time. But too make in short and sweet, say hello to Zamasu, once aimed to be a God. Only to be killed by Trunks, I on the other hand did some tinkering with him and now here he is. The other three are, Cumber the evil Saiyan, Turles and lastly... Omega Shenron."

"Tch, more pains to deal with." Scarlet said as a wide grin spreads across her face. "You want me to fight these four? Oh please, They're already dead before they could move to strike."

Fu looked confused as he looked at them confused. Then he noticed it, each one of them had gaping holes in their chest as Scarlet had her arm pointed in their direction. She had used Salem's magic to kill them quickly, the spiral beam of magic had already gone through them when Fu wasn't looking.

"H-How did you?" Fu asked. "That's impossible.."

"Nothing is impossible with me." Scarlet grins as she dashed towards Fu and stabbed her hand through his chest ripping his beating heart out. "I told you not to waste my time."

~~~

"So.... She's here." Demigra said as he grins. "Well then, I guess it's time I toyed with you a bit.... Nightmare." He looked at Kurumi who was in a cage for a moment, before Demigra struck her down with the same lightning that made Scarlet numb.

Nightmare screamed in pain and cried out, as she feared that the child inside her would be harmed. She used what power she had left to protect the child, blood ran down the sides of her mouth as she looked at Demigra. "Y-You won't get away with this..."

"Oh?" Demigra asked. "And what makes you think your wife even cares about you? She may just come here to kill me, but leave you in the dust." He grins again as he cackled. "You'll be no use to her anymore when I'm done with you!"

Nightmare cried out in pain as she was hit by more lightning. "A-AAHHHH!!!!"

"Yes, cry for me. That's what I want to hear." Demigra said. "The look on Scarlet's face will be priceless! HAHAH!"

Kurumi yelled in pain louder as the lightning stopped, she panted as smoke came off her body. "....She will stop you.... You don't know what you've done...."

"SILENCE!" Demigra barked as he now trapped her in a glass jar. "Let's see you break out of this one before you run out of air!"

Nightmare panics as she was surrounded by glass, she was too weak to move. And she was running out of time slowly. "Please.... Hurry.... Scarlet...."

Demigra had a smirk on his face, he opened a pathway for Scarlet to follow within the time rift dimension. "Come to me Scarlet.... You'll be begging me to spare you once you watch your wife die."

Kurumi could only curl up a little as she caresses her small baby bump. "Mommy will be here to save us.... Don't you worry little one...." Nightmare fought to keep her eyes opened, she just knew Scarlet would come to her rescue.

~~~

Scarlet flew down the pathway that was formed, her nose not picking up Nightmare's scent, a look of worry appeared on the Grimm girl's face as she had Kurumi's scent for a brief moment before it vanished. However Demigra's scent was strong, she grits her teeth as she howled loudly like a Beowulf. "DEMIGRA!!!!"

Demigra heard his name being yelled as he grins. "Ah, speak of the devil... She's on her way." He glances at the jar Nightmare was in. "It's only a matter of time before you see the truth of her lies."

Nightmare lied still as she could barely hear what he was saying, same for Scarlet's voice, she continued to caresses her baby bump. The moment Demigra turned his head to look back at the path he made, he got punched square in the jaw being sent backwards. He crashed into a crystal as it shattered, similar to how it had when Fu crashed into it.

"Where is my wife?!" Scarlet growled as she glared at him with red glowing eyes. "ANSWER ME!" She clinched her fist as her aura was flowing off her body.

Demigra wiped some blood from his mouth as he rubbed it between his fingers. "Why don't you look over there?" He pointed his staff at the jar as he grins. "She doesn't have much time left to live."

Scarlet glared over at the jar, eyes widen as she saw the current state Nightmare was in, she was in the same shape Ruby and Qrow were when she saw those two in their cage. "Kurumi!" She dashed over and put her hand on the jar. "Can you hear me?"

"She can't hear you, nor can you hear her." Demigra said with a laugh. "It's sound proof, she's used up what power she has to protect that child inside her. She'll die before you can even save her from her glass tomb."

Nightmare could feel the warmth of Scarlet's hand on the jar. She slowly put her hand against the wall as she cried, tears went down Kurumi's face as she was glad to see Scarlet. She didn't even need to think about her wife's new appearance, Scarlet saw this as she moved her hand away as she growled.

"What's this? Do you not care for her? Is that it?" Demigra asked. "Oh how precious! You're breaking her heart."

"Shut up!" Scarlet barked as a dark aura surrounded her. "I'm going to kill you and save her, even if it kills me!"

Demigra laughed as he grins widely. "Oh please, a small power boots isn't going to do you any good.... Not even when I'm like this!" His body started to change into his demon form. "Haha, now you've made your own grave!"

Scarlet was engulfed by the dark aura as it felt similar to when she had first transformed in Tengu City against Shido and the other spirits and the AST. She growled and snarled from within the aura as it slowly cracked, Demigra watched as he scoffed.

"This still won't help you!" Demigra yells as he flew towards her. "You're dead meat!" He swung his fist at her but things came to a halt as he backed up. "W-What in the hell?"

The aura cocoon shattered sending shards flying everywhere. Scarlet's body was glowing as the bright light nearly blinded Demigra as it slowly died down, the surge of power and surge of magic could be felt from outside the time rift dimension.

"Whoa, what the hell?" Natsu asked. "This surge of magic... It's Scarlet, but terrifying."

Ruby looked at him as she couldn't even tell as she took his word for it. Back inside the time rift dimension, Scarlet clinched her fist tightly as the other had golden finger claws strapped to her normal fingers. Her feet were Nevermore talon's, she still had a Nevermore tail and to finish her full Grimm hybrid form. She had two extra set of eyes above her other eyes, all four of her eyes blinked as a blood thirsty grin appeared on her face. "Now then..... It's time to play with my food."
