Chapter 6: Queen's Gambit

Queen glanced over as she saw Scarlet. "You! How did you find me?"

Marigold heard Scarlet's voice as she rushes over to her and hugs her. "Mommy!" She nuzzled her face against Scarlet as she cried tears of joy. "You're back."

Scarlet smiled a bit as she rubs her daughter on the head. "Mommy has some business to take care of..." She lightly removes Marigold lightly as she glared at Queen. "If you're desperate to know how, then by all means. I'll tell you how."

Marigold was also wondering how Scarlet got to where she was, but she wanted to listen to hear how she did.

~~~

Ellen growled as she flew towards Scarlet. "We'll kill you, me and Nibelcole."

Scarlet smirked as she moved out of the way and kneed Ellen in the gut. "You're a daisy if you do." She spun around as she saw the army of Nibelcole's coming towards her. "Ara Ara... you want to die that badly?"

Kurumi noticed the fight as she glanced back at the others. "Westcott must be nearby then." Her clones started to come up from the ground and darkness of the forest. "All of you help the other spirits protect Shido, I'll help Scarlet."

The clones giggled and nodded as they watched Kurumi jump into the air. Westcott was approaching slowly he smirked as he saw the fight happening. "Good, keep them occupied, I'll steal the crystals from the others and then I'll be unstoppable."

Scarlet slammed each single Nibelcole against each other as she got shot in the back by Ellen. "Ara.... you just don't give up, she grinned widely as she flew towards Ellen as she noticed the AST weren't even helping out. She scoffed as she grabbed Ellen by the neck and started choking her. "Take your last breath of air human scum, the last thing you'll see is me."

Ellen gagged as she kicked her legs and clawed at Scarlet's hand. She couldn't get herself free. "G-Go to.... Go to hell!"

Scarlet smirked widely as she unhinged her jaw as her tongue slithered out of her mouth as it wrapped around Ellen. Nibelcole noticed as she tried to hurry over to save Ellen, but Kurumi shot several bullets at her waving her finger. And within  a blink of an eye Scarlet had slurped Ellen up as her head vanished into her hungry maw. The Grimm girl snickered as she spat out Ellen's armor.

"You.... You ate her!" Nibelcole yelled. "You're a monster!"

Scarlet bends backwards as she licked her lips. "Now I've got a fire in my belly." She smelt Westcott nearby as she dashed towards his location.

"S-She just ate her... like it was nothing." Nia said shocked. "Just like that, gone from existence..."

Shido nodded as he puts his hand on her shoulder. "Stay focused, we don't know where Westcott is going to.come from or what Nibelcole will do."

Nia nodded as she got on her guard. Kurumi shot the other Nibelcole's. "Scarlet, these Nibelcole's are made from paper."

Scarlet smirked as she heard her. "Paper? Well then, that just means there's a book for them then." She glanced around as Westcott's scent got stronger.

Westcott stopped halfway as he moved his eyes left and right, he held his arm out to the side as he grabbed Scarlet by the face. "A sneak attack isn't going to do you any good, you may have thought you were clever, but you're wrong."

Scarlet started to laugh as she wrapped herself around his arm and pushed her feet against his body, the sound of his arm tearing from it's socket and the ripping of flesh filled both their ears. "Then I hope you don't mind if I take something from you then." She pushed and pushed as she ripped Westcott's arm off.

Blood spewed from the socket as Westcott gritted his teeth, he dropped the book as he fell to his knees and gripped the socket. "You're dead!"

"That's what Ellen said, but she's already dead. And just like her, you're going to die... but slow and painfully." Scarlet kicked Westcott in the gut as she grabbed his arm and munched on it, chewing on the bones and flesh as blood gushed out from the arm. She noticed the book as she reached down and picked it up, she had a bloody grin on her face as she started to tear it up.

"Damn you! You have no idea who you're messing with." Westcott said as he stood up.

"You're no daisy.... you're no daisy at all." Scarlet said as she punched him in the face knocking his teeth out and broke his nose.

Westcott went flying back as he slid across the ground. The book was shredded up but the paper started to spawn tiny Nibelcole's as they all rushed at Scarlet. The Grimm girl cackled as she stomps all over the tiny Nibelcole's, she swatted some from her leg as she bit down hard on some as well, they didn't stand any chance against her. To them, she was like a Kaiju wrecking their home.

"You're making a bad choice here girl." Westcott spoke as his arm grew back, since he had absorbed Nia's crystal. He had the abilities of a spirit, but he needed more. "You're no spirit, what are you?"

Scarlet crushed the last Nibelcole with her hands as she licked her blood away. "I'm the boogeywoman... I'm your worst dream come true. I am the eater of worlds and of humanity, I am everything you ever were afraid of." She slowly started walking towards Westcott. "I'll hunt you down and haunt your every dream. You'll never escape me..." She stabbed Black Rose into his stomach and sliced him in half.

Kurumi rushes over as she panted as she stopped behind Scarlet. "That's not going to keep him down, I think my clones and the others can handle things here... we need to go save our daughter." She pointed her flintlock at the back of Scarlet's head and aimed her musket at her own head. "I'm going with you."

~~~

"So.... as you can see, we're both here." Scarlet said as she glared at Queen. "Your subordinates won't save you from my wrath."

Queen gripped her sword as she dashed towards Scarlet. "Die!"

Scarlet moved Marigold out of the way as she kicked Queen in the face as she slammed her down next as she stood over Queen. "Me and you Queen, a fight to the death. No back up needed, Kurumi is taking care of that. I'll be sure to send you to the depths of hell."

Queen bashed her head against Scarlet's as she got up, she swung her sword at her next as she cuts Scarlet's outfit. Scarlet hissed as she grabbed Queen's arm and snapped it, she then round house kicked Queen in the face as she sent her frying.

Queen crashed into her chair as she stumbled to her feet. She gripped her broken arm and snapped it back into place. "You're not even trying... you're only toying with me. Show me all of your power!"

Marigold watched from where she was hiding at, her eyes shined when she heard Scarlet mention Kurumi's name. She smiled widely as she was happy that her parents were here to save her. "Kick her ass!"

Scarlet heard what she said but didn't scold her for saying that. She smirked as she focused all her attention on Queen. "You heard her. I'm going to kick your ass... and I'm going to kick it really hard."

Queen scoffed as she summoned her angel. "Lucifugus!" The giant clock appeared behind Queen as she glared at Scarlet. "I'd like to see you try...."
