To Hunt A Dragon

"Everyday is bloody boring since we died, right?" Moria groaned as the duo strutted down the streets with their masks on, scaring the humans they passed by shooting or slicing at them. Mementis and Moria's (mainly Moria's) Plan was to draw out Ice-Piercer by playing the roles of "the bad guys". 

"We could just track her down, you know?" Mementis sighed, looking at his sister with a bored smile. "Well, I could. But then again, we haven't had a good fight in weeks. And if we anger them enough, they might send more powerful heroes then Ice Dragon." She said as she broke a window with her scythe.

Mementis rolled his eyes, training his rifle on a nearby crowd of people. "I guess I can't complain." He sighed, firing a shot in between them all, scaring them off. They were rather bored of trying to lure out Ice-Piercer, and having used two of the bullets already on some heroes who tried to stop them already. 

Moria sighed and grabbed a child off, putting her scythe near them. "If any heroes don't come and stop me, the kid gets it!" She yelled with a confident evil laugh. Mementis gave her a look to ask if they were going to actually kill the child, only for her to shake her head in disagreement. "Yeah, we'll kill this kid." Mementis yelled, firing a shot into the air.

Suddenly, the two were enveloped and strung up in vines, the child quickly running towards a robotic heroine with short ivy green hair stood triumphantly in front of the two, saying in an electronic tone; "You villains shall not harm an innocent child on my watch!"

The two looked at the robotic figure before turning to each other with a grin. "It ain't, is it?" Moria laughed with Mementis soon laughing with her. "Yeah. I think it is."

The robotic android in front of them looked confused, her digital screened face showing a question mark. "What's so funny?" She asked, using some vines to get close to the duo. The two took down there hoods and masks, showing their faces, causing the android to back away in stunned silence.

"You miss us, Vitis?" They said in unison, causing Vitis to drop the two from her vines as her screen had an exclamation mark. "Y-You two are supposed to be dead!?"

"We are." Mementis said flatly, stretching slightly as Moria leaned against her Scythe tauntingly. "And you're... A robot now? Did Eden drive ya that mad?" 

Vitis put her hand out, summoning a flower. "I can bring life back to this world with this new body. And I'm worshipped like a hero here. You two just had me around as a glorified radar!" She yelled as the flower in her hand wilted. 

Mementis rolled his eyes, scratching some of his hair out. "Since you're here, can you tell us where Ice-Piercer is?"

"And what do you want with her?"

The siblings looked between each other, debating what to say before Moria came up with the perfect excuse; "We want her autograph." She said with a dumb grin, Mementis face palming while lightly snickering at the claim. "Autograph?" He whispered, trying to hold a straight face.

Vitis looked at the two with an electronic sigh, pointing to the two. "What is the actual reason?" She said with a stern tone, trying to at least hold her heroic status in front of her old associates. Mementis ran his finger over his rifle and said in a blunt tone; "We need to capture her for a mission. That's all."

"Splice?"

"Yep yep." Moria laughed, slightly surprised that she already guessed who hired them. Vitis motioned the two to follow her leading the two into a plant store, where she sat the siblings down in the back. She covered the windows with leaves before turning to the two. "If I help you get Ice-Piercer, you've got to stay the hell out of the city and... Help me clear my debt to Splice."

"Why?" They asked in unison as Vitis plugged her finger into a screen, showing them images of Lillian Gate directly from her memories as she explained that she nearly died at the lab after she tried to escape with her life. Going to to reveal that Splice saved her and brought her back in a more robotic state. 

"And this has to do with your debt how?" Mementis asked, scratching some skin off his face as Vitis sighed, her screen showing a bored stare as she said; "I can't leave until Splice says I can... And they won't let me until they complete their "project". And since they want Ice, I'm assuming they're part of the project."

"If you're so knowledgeable about this project, then what is it?" Moria laughed, accidentally cutting her middle finger off with her scythe as she went to feel it over. "I don't know, but from what I know, it's her biggest project to date. Something about making the ultimate monster."

The siblings looked at each other with big, giddy smiles, excitedly yelling; "We'll help if it means a fight like that!"

Ice piercer was sat in a cold, muted coloured lounge filled with many pieces of memorabilia from her past. She was sipping on some fine wine as she saw her least favourite sidekick, Vitis, enter with her arms tied behind her back. She gave her robotic companion a cold stare as she had what looked like two undead behind her.

"What's the meaning of this, Vitis?" Ice-Piercer questioned as the taller, lankier undead spoke in a flat, bored tone; "We caught your flower girl here. So beat us in a duel and we'll give her back."

"And why would I do that? I could just freeze you where you stand." She smirked, noticing the shorter, more bubbly looking undead clutch her scythe in anticipation. "I don't think the honourable plan is working. Lets just do this."

Before Mementis could stop his sister, Moira leaped towards Ice, aiming to cut her head off. She let out a cold sigh, summoning a pillar of ice, blocking the attack in an instant. Moria struggled to get her Scythe out from the pillar of ice before getting knocked back by a blast of cold air.

Ice-Piercer stood up, spreading her wings as she pointed to the two, creating a dome of ice around them all. "I suppose I can teach you both a lesson on why you don't pick fights with dragons." She said with an icy laugh.

Mementis quickly took out his sniper rifle, firing a round at the pillar, destroying it and freeing Moria's Scythe, that she quickly grabbed. The two regrouped together as Ice-Piercer began firing icicles from the ceiling, the two jumping and weaving between them as Moria went in for another wild swing, only to throw her scythe to Mementis, who threw his rifle to her.

Ice-Piercer looked a bit confused by the attack before her head was hit from both sides by the blunt side of the scythe and rifle, dazing her slightly. She let out a screech of pain, summoning sheer cold ice that froze the ground solid, causing the two to slip and slide about. 

"Enough of your stupid games!" She yelled in fury. Mementis quickly took back his rifle and Moria taking her scythe. The duo began thinking over their strategy as Ice-Piercer was practically creating a blizzard inside the lounge.

The two glanced at each other before laughing; "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Batter up?"

As Ice-Piercer began to create a gigantic snowball, ready to finish the fight in an instant, Mementis pulled out a mist bullet as Moria dashed behind Ice-Piercer. Mementis threw the bullet in the air before striking it with his rifle like a bat, sending it flying towards Moria. "Get ready..." Mementis mumbled as Moria jumped to the air and slammed her scythe into the bullet, sending it flying towards Ice-Piercer.

"We did it!" Moria laughed before hearing Vitis yell in pain as she was rolling around on the floor. The bullet had completely missed Ice-Piercer and had instead gone right into Vitis's screened face, cracking it. "WHY DID SPLICE MAKE ME FEEL PAIN!" She cried out. 

"Uhm... Shit." Moria laughed awkwardly before being taken down by a massive snowball. Mementis quickly rushed to his sisters side, laughing slightly as Moria stood up, reattaching her arm that had come off. "Well... Are we going to do this quickly or flashy?" Mementis asked with a grin.

"Flashy." Moria smirked, grabbing the last two bullets, pouring one bullets mist onto her scythe and the other onto one of Mementis's bullets. Ice Piercer glared at the two, preparing to finish this fight, summoning an oversized iceberg that could easily crush the two.

"Last chance." Mementis sighed, readying is rifle as Moria got out of the snow, readying her scythe. "Not like it's the first time we might die."

"Remember Death!" The two yelled, jumping into the air, with Moria putting her scythe out as Mementis landed on it. She catapulted him further into the air as he aimed down his sights, firing his mist infused shot for Ice's spine. Moria quickly darted around at high speeds, delivering weak blows that cut into her skin. She had no time to react, trying to stop Moria only to yell out in pain as she was hit by the bullet, knocking her out.

The duo conductors landed to the ground, fist bumping each other as they grabbed Ice-Piercer's shrunken form out of a pile of snow, placing her in the vial they were given. Mementis awkwardly walked over to Vitis, who was still rolling around in pain. "You want to come with us? Maybe Splice and fix your face?"

Vitis just let a pained electronic groan, which the two took as a yes, quickly picking her up and carrying her away. The two began to laugh that this was the second time they'd shot Vitis accidentally in their lives.
