Sisters Of Fate III
"Yes Ether beast naturally refine Ether as they absorb and manipulate it, but these girls were born in the slums of Neon City, so they had none. Neon City boast its artificial life style, the birds arent even real. The only living organisms are humans there aren't even real bugs in that artificial dome leaving all the filtering done in the richer areas and none for the slums. Ether left in its most raw state isn't normally harmful, because all it naturally wants to do is enhance or change."
"So why did these girls lose limbs, I even saw before the Ether started its repairs that Tia had lost her eyes to Ether." Delta shot a look at Zero who's head hung in anger.
"Ether scaring refers to the burns someone receives from Ether burns, some healers and doctors refer to the discoloring much in the same way, but with these girls they were born as Pre-Augs..." Loki was shocked by what Zero was suggesting if these triplets were born with prosthetics or augmentations then that meant someone had to remove them at birth.
"Why would anyone do that to three little girls." The rage in Lokis voice was subtle.
"To save them, from Tengu's Vanguard." At the immediate finishing of Zeros statement the room filled with the same Wrathful heat from earlier, the mark on Lokis face grew bright red, The seal of The God Sins, it was given to all the humans split between the Gods, giving them unique powers similar to the Gods they came from. Loki being born under the seal of Wrath has his rage fuel his power and ensnare the ambient Ether to his will.
"The Tennyo is a voluntary personal army of Raishin." The words were ice and heavy to the ear, but Loki knew deep down there was more.
"They are taken from the slums, especially when you have Pre-Augs being born, they sometimes even take the mothers... So to keep everyone safe the slums doctors are willing to take all the augmentations away, but that doesn't mean they can replace them." Zero pointed out plainly.
Loki being no fool couldn't argue the age of the scars they helplessly wore, the triplets had been operated on a year after birth removing any augmentations or enhanced organs.
"So what of Wrath?" The voice soothed Loki's hot rage, Delta done with his computation and was now waiting for Lokis' answer.
"The God Sin Wrath was locked away after they dealt the final blow to their parents because they're considered the worst of all the Sins their name has been struck from the history books, but as the stories told Wrath was sealed away by their siblings for fear that they were uncontrollable, their strength even affected Carnas ability to prophesize." A moment of silence passes as Delta exchanges looks with Zero.
"And the truth?" Loki smirked at the question, almost expecting it.
"Which one?" As if awoken by the question, an alert went off on the stasis beds.
"You're up, Loki time to stabilize them." Zero stepped aside, Loki stepped up to the stasis deck, and the three dreamers glowed with the aura of their respective Ethers.
Loki rolled up his sleeves and brushed his dreads out of his face. He placed his hands over the operating desk. Two circular holes opened to his call. He places a hand in each hole as they close around his forearms. The mark on his face emits a light glow as metallic tendrils form from the liquid blue stasis below.
Six individual arms envelope the triplets akin to chrome-like spider legs on prey, Loki closed his non-augmented eye while the other sprang to life with a reddish glow.
"Time for the fun part." The tendrils shoot a connecting strand of red light to the triplets and begin a sweeping scan of their bodies under Loki's control.
"First I'll introduce your peculiar Materia." Loki glanced over his shoulder for some kind of reaction from a Zero who was too preoccupied with the glistening metal legs to notice, instead, he was given a signature glare from Delta which prompted him to continue.
One leg from each group had a ball of light travel from the base to the tip, the tips then split and held each Materia. Slowly Loki chose the spots he thought would be cutest since Materia tended to leave some sort of mark or symbol. He then precisely moved the legs to, Nia's lower back, Tia's collar bone, and finally Sia's neck before slowly moving the orbs toward the bodies the green galaxy orb for Nia and Sia had the white while Tia was receiving the enigmatic golden Materia.
On contact with the glowing skin, the orbs shot inside away from the tendrils grip, Lokis eyebrows furrowed at this.
"Hmm... They don't normally do that." Loki muttered under his breath to himself.
"They don't normally do what?" The boom of the voice made Loki flinch.
"Th-The Materia its gone." Loki stammered frustratingly circling the bodies with tendrils.
"Find them." A demand etched in stone by its very decree came from inches behind Lokis' back, he didn't even sense Delta's movements.
"I didn't lose them! They were taken, your creepy twin body experiments took to them like they were missing pieces!" Loki clenched waiting to be erased by the Elder spirit.
"It's fine keep working." Zero was still watching the tendrils ignoring Lokis' impending doom, for the time being, Delta blinked away, leaving Loki unsure if he just couldn't see him or if he had left.
Shaking the moment off he went back to work the arms and threads of light scanning all over the floating twins.
"It doesn't seem the Prosthetics or Augments they were born with will be returning to them physically, as far as I can tell they have the bodies of young girls maybe late teens early twenties... And from their Circulatory and Nervous systems they should be able to harness ambient Ether, but being girls already gave them the chance of that..."
A few moments of silence passed as it seems that something has caught Lokis attention.
"You have some interesting science experiments Zero, it seems the augmentations they were born with desire to exist anyway." Loki seemed to clench and twist his arms, in response the legs jerked like puppets on strings. The red strands of light began pulling at the silver and gold Ether that was leftover in the bodies.
